QuadFilium is a secret, private military group, well-funded, with the highest tech spy equipment, aimed at eradicating human traffickers worldwide.
Wade Maley, QuadFilium's top operative, finds himself hidden in a conference room in a compound owned by criminal mastermind Alistair Watson. Wade is meant to kill this man and escape... and he does... barely, because his pilot, Teska Lando, the slang-slinging Texan, saves his butt. But that's just the beginning of their adventure. They go to take out an entire sex-slave facility operation in Los Angeles and while doing so, find out that things aren't what they seem.
Next thing they know they're AWOL, on the run and being hunted by the world's greatest assassins... as well as by their own team.
QuadFilium means Four Leaf—for luck—and luck is all these two have left to keep them alive.
I'm normally a fantasy/romance reader, though I do lean heavily towards darker tropes, preferably with action/ battle and prefer the romance to be in the background instead of the focus of the whole plot. This came as a random Booktok recommendation and I'm so glad I checked it out! I was fully sucked in from the first chapter and the suspense had me on the edge of my seat almost the entire time. I loved it from beginning to end and would recommend to fans of thrillers to fantasy to sci-fi and everything in between.
This first time author has crafted a world in which someone is doing something really effective about white slavery and also how such ideals can be perverted, leading to a giant clash of wills. The derring-do is continuous and the epic conclusion is satisfying to say the least! Jeremy, keep on writing!
