When Nate Colt finds out that one of his men is double-dealing weapons to a dangerous third party, he decides he's going to get to the bottom of it. Before he can face the man down, he is confronted by a beautiful CIA operative. Under tense strain, Nate agrees to work as a contractor for the CIA to run to ground the identity of this third party and exactly what his plans are.
With danger around every corner, violence a constant companion, and a beautiful woman who is everything he could ever want, Nate Colt will do whatever it takes to find out who this man is... Or die trying.
"A mission fraught with danger, guns, and a beautiful woman is just a normal day to me, because... INTRIGUE IS MY ASSIGNMENT."
For fans of James Bond, Nathan Drake, Indiana Jones, Matt Helm, and the stories that inspired them, Nate Colt is a two-fisted, gunslinging, swashbuckling, wisecracking throwback to the heroes of yesteryear.
Nate Cole - action, adventure and pure escapism. This is only my second foray into ‘pulp’ and it was such fun to read. The lead character is bold, doesn’t take any nonsense and within a few pages I could immediately place exactly who he was. This is the 3rd in the series, so far, and I don’t think it is an issue that I have come into it so far into his story. We do get a bit of background to the past but the story holds itself up as a strong standalone adventure. It took me a while to realise the modern setting, there was something about it that felt quite vintage throughout the story. As the story progresses, Nate is thrown into many high stakes action situations. There are written so well that I felt every punch. Fun, action packed and a little brutal. Thoroughly enjoyed reading Intrigue Is My Assignment
From the get go this book is a testosterone fueled adrenaline rush harking back to pulp heroes of old and the high action of new.
The prologue? Chef's kiss. This book is the successor to the Craig era bond and Uncharted games with its palpable fast paced action.
The only thing I wanted to do for the three days it took me to read the book was come back to read the book. It had me LOCKED in. It's such a good blend of Spy Thriller and adventure with a healthy dose of noir.
Nate Colt is more fleshed out than ever and Nathanael Hummel is cementing him to be deserving of a spot on the modern pulp heroes Mount Rushmore.
