January, 1953: A new President is sworn in. At the same time, agent Ted Brooks takes charge of Black Vault, a mysterious underground spy organization where he soon finds himself in greater danger than ever before. He and his team must learn to work together while they hunt down and destroy a new and powerful Vexa. Ace Card delivers a powerful story that begins with an explosion of action and never lets up. The author combines fascinating characters and true historical events with international intrigue, romance, and no small dose of humor. Set first on the streets of DC, then the backdrop of old Honolulu, the reader can expect a riveting ride into the dark and dangerous world of espionage. Hold on to your Ace Card. Black Vault has arrived.
Interesting tale about spies with the name of Core Agents until their boss, Bill Fletcher, is killed. Then Ted Brooks takes over. Before Fletcher was killed, he told Ted that they had a mole in their organization. That's Ted's first mission and he changes the name of the organization from Core Agents to Black Vault. Good story, not as hard-core as some. But still good!
Good read, great characters, kept me reading from start to finish.
While waiting for Michael Connolly to get a new book released I will continue to follow this author. I enjoyed this and would like to see how the characters evolve in future readings
I read books like this in high school, which was the late sixties. Yea, getting old. Still, I enjoyed this somewhat comical episode in the spy world from way back.
