A terrorizing, horrifying, blood chilling and intriguing
read. The story grips the reader from the beginning.
It intensifies up until the last page.
Intrigue mounts to mountainous proportions with
drama, tension, suspense, twists and turns.
Come along with Javin Pierce and Claudia Aquarone
as they both take on mission to discover why they
were betrayed by their boss. These two agents are
Correctors for the Canadian Intelligence Service.
They carry out missions that other agents have failed
completing.
But on one of their missions they were compromised
and betrayal from within. They have gone rogue to
expose their betrayer.
These are phenomenal in-depth characters with human
flaws, human emotions and experience shaped perceptions.
This story is so well written that the deft description will
make you feel as is you need a bullet proof vest as you tag
along right there with these characters.
This is book # 3 in the Javin Piece Spy Thriller series. It can
be read as a stand alone but you really should read the
first two books as they are just as exciting.
A Highly Recommended Read!!

Firstly, I think it should be noted that this book benefits from the build up from the previous two of the series, particularly Betrayal the one that immediately precedes this one. It does not, however, rely on you having read either of them. Ethan Jones does a superb job in making his books work as standalone thrillers despite the themes linking them. This time Javin Pierce is alone in a hostile country without backup from his agency. He won’t let that stop his quest for justice though. His partner in the CIS, Claudia Aquarone, is in the hands of a hostile enemy agency but she, of course, won’t let that hold her back from helping her friend. How they deal with these immediate situations would be enough to fill a novel but Ethan Jones gives his readers so much more than just that. He delivers a great story with his usual skill and keeps you hooked from start to finish and before you know it you’re reaching the end of yet another first class spy thriller. This is a fun, action filled thrill ride of a novel that I highly recommend.

Another fast and furious story you can’t put down.
This third and final story continues on from the previous two books with Jarvin Pierce escaping from certain death and getting justice on the traitors Hugo Martin their boss.
CIS agent Jarvin learns the truth and he plans his revenge and pay back on his leader. With Claudia captured and Jarvin trying to escape and plan how to turn things around he has few options on who he can trust or ask for help. He ends up escaping then turns his attention to Geneva Switzerland where car chases ambushes and bullets flying and best laid plans don’t always work due to more double crosses but does the end cost him? You will have to read the book to find out but
A good action book and with some realistic touches put in for good measure.
Jarvin soon realises that to beat the odds he can only do this by doing his job. Being the corrector! With the aid of friends and Claudia Jarvin gets the job done with all the
This third book continues with all the fast auctioned packed storyline and with lots of twists and turns as with the other two books. Once starting the book you can only keep turning the pages.

A Javin Pierce Thriller #3
By Ethan Jones
The action set in motion in the two previous Javin Pierce books comes to a head in this third offering. Javin is on the run attempting to pit various intelligence agencies against the one that betrayed him and Claudia. The only problem someone is still working against Javin in his attempt to bring retribution against the man who turned against him and this leak is destroying his alliances before he can make any headway.
With Claudia being held in a Saudi prison and time working against him Javin's options are in few and those he trusts is shrinking by the minute...
As the action, suspense, and danger build Europe and the Middle East may never be the same. The only question for the reader to discover is who will be left alive when the dust and political fallout settles. This book brings this three-book story arc to an intense and satisfying conclusion. Ethan Jones has created another cast of characters to keep the reader flipping the pages to learn what happens next!
And a word of warning never betray a Corrector ~ It could very well be the last mistake you will ever make...

Closure is the third book in the Javin Pierce series by Ethan Jones. Pierce is a corrector for the Canadian Intelligence Service (CIS), which is an operative who normally corrects failed missions of other CIS agents.
Pierce has returned to Iraq in order to meet with Iranian Quds (Iran’s Revolutionary Guard’s Special Forces) Commander Bakhtiar and make arrangements to rescue his partner, CIS Agent Claudia Aqualone. Claudia was captured in their latest but disastrous mission in Saudi Arabia and is being currently being interrogated by Saudi General Intelligence Presidency (GIP).
The mystery continues with Pierce’s interaction with the aforementioned and other international intelligence agencies (including Israeli Mossad, Jordanian General Intelligence Directorate (GID), Al Qaeda terrorists), as well as dealing with a traitor inside CIS.
With all of these potential enemies, what could possibly go wrong? Will Claudia be freed and the traitor be identified?

I read this book as part of the box set that I purchased.
This story is a continuation of Betrayal which had Javin on the run from Saudi Arabia and Claudia arrested. Javin is looking to avenge the actions that were taken against him and free Claudia. Justin makes it out of Saudi Arabia and looks for partners to help him with his plan to make amends against his boss and his bosses' boss.
Claudia is able to escape from her captors and makes a determination that Javin will be in Geneva and makes arrangements to locate him there. While Javin heads to Geneva, he partners with the Iranian Quds organization. On his travels, he and his team run into an attack in Iraq where some of the team is killed. He finally makes it to Geneva and eventually meets up with Claudia. He lays out his plan and with help from a member of the Swiss Police leaves to conduct it.
If you want to find out how successful the plan was and what action took place while it occurred, then you must read this book. You won't be disappointed.

Closure is the third book in the Javin Pierce Spy Thriller series and another awesome, fast paced, action packed suspenseful story with well developed characters and an intense storyline and some wicked twists that had me on the edge of my seat from the get go.
With Javin in the hot seat not being able to trust anyone, CIS and Mossad looking for him and Claudia, both considered Rouge agents-and Claudia being held and interrogated and out of Javin’s reach, the plot thickens as they get thrown into a worse predicament with the latest intense and constant twists and adventure Ethan Jones’s is taking us on.
While I haven't read all of Ethan Jones books, I sure have enjoyed the ones I've read and The Corrector, The Betrayal and Closure are no exception and well worth the read.
Thank you Mr Jones for another intriguing and exciting book and looking forward to the next thrilling adventure.

The Closure is the 3rd book on the series and it left off from book 2 which finished very abruptly and with Javin having some injuries and Claudia being detained by the Saudi's things are not looking good Javin is also having a hard time trying to get people he can trust and has had to pull in a few favours, also having a bad time what with his boss Hugo Martin wanting the pair dead. Claudia does happen to escape her captors and starts looking for Javin, and she works out where he will be, and ultimately it takes them to Switzerland, where his ex-box is there for a conference. His ex-boss knows there it going to be a showdown but where and when, but a showdown it is with a thrilling car chase that leads to a climax. This book is full of excitement and intrigue but was a bit disappointed that we never really got the know-how on Javin's wifes' death.

This is a book within a series that is by whom I would place at the lead of spy thriller writers.
Once again, Ethan Jones has managed to grab you at the start and keeps you holding on for dear life until the end. He has the ability to reach in and squeeze your heart with fear, at the same time making the reader feel every emotion that the characters endure. The characters are extremly well rounded, with a depth rarely seen in most of the genrè. With his describtions of the places the story is set in, you can see through their eyes every detail that they see.
I suggest that before you settle in to read this story, get yourself a drink, some snacks and make sure you're comfortable. Once you start, you won't stop until you reach the end.

#1 Amazon Bestselling author Ethan Jones delivers his best spy thriller up to date yet. Javin Pierce, CIS best corrector agent must do whatever it takes to rescue his partner and find out the truth on their last mission, or die trying. An action-pact, fast pased adventure that will keep you at the edge of your seat. This electrifying International spy thriller will grab you from the first sentence and won't let you go, until the last page is turned. Even then, you'll be wanting more.

Closure. Ethan Jones
Javin Pierce and his partner Claudia have suffered the ultimate betrayal from someone they trusted with their lives. Now they have become expendables . But not without a fight that could ultimately cost their lives. This is a highly suspenseful thriller. Javin is calling in all favors and help from past operations. Action to the very last page. Enjoyed immensely!

This series just gets better and better.
As mentioned in the sales pitch danger lurks on all sides and Javin's skill at survival and loyalty to those close to him get severely tested.
The plot is incredible and very fast-paced and this entire series falls under the category of ''I can't put this down before I'm done reading it''.
I'm hoping the author keeps on writing like this because I'll find the money to buy his books, even if it means missing a meal, lol.

I have read all of Ethan's books. This Javin Pierce #3 is one of his best. I could not put it down. Spies, intrigue, excitement and much more. Javin finds himself wondering who he can trust, his partner is in jail in Saudi and he has to turn to old enemies for help. How will it turn out? Will Javin prevail? Will Claudia get out of jail? Don't miss this book.
May 6, 2018
Closure is the third and final book in the Javin Pierce Spy Thriller series. You should not read these books as standalones, especially not this one as it begins where the previous book ended. There is violence. This is a fast paced book filled with action and enough twists and turns to keep you guessing and reading.
April 16, 2018
I have read all of Ethan's books. This is book 3 in the Javin Pierce series. To say this book was good would do it an injustice. I could not put this book down. I finished it in one reading (I won't tell you how long it took me or what I didn't get done). It was riveting and had me on the edge of my seat. This book was awesome and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves spy and intrigue books.
October 2, 2022
The end of the story begun in The Corrector and continued in Betrayal. Javin and his partner try to head off an assassination if a Saudi prince. The plot and the characters are intertwined by double-crosses and intrigue in a manner you'd expect in such a book. This book also begins a new story covered in two additional volumes.
A solid story, action packed with a realistic conclusion.
I'll continue with other works by this author

Somehow I started my first Jones books with the Javin Pierce series. I am enjoying them. They are quick reads, knocked these first 3 off in about as many days. Compared to series by other authors, these aren't really stand alone, and we're left wanting more at the end of each book. Duh, that's the authors job right? So I'll keep plugging away. It's important to me to at least tolerate or like the main characters and I really like Javin and Claudia.
May 12, 2023
Javin learns of an assassination plot against a senior member of Saudi royalty while trying to free Claudia from Saudi captivity. He is also now aware that his boss is working to get Javin eliminated (he knows too much about the bosses past disgracing indiscretions, including having Javin’s wife killed. He no longer knows whom he can trust except Claudia, who has escaped the Saudis and joined him to bring about justice. ENJOY!

I just finished “Closure” and really enjoyed “cleaning/corrector” the open loose ends from Betrayal. Now onto getting back into the Good graces of the CSI. This writer has come a long way in the past year. If you have not read the first two books in this series you are missing a lot of action. I have read the Justin Hall series from this author which led me to this series - excitement galore.
May 1, 2018
Closure: A Javin Pierce #3 is another fast-paced thriller, perhaps the author’s best work to date! With every book he writes, and each genre (Justin Hall, espionage/thriller or Carrie O'Connor, espionage/thriller or Jennifer Morgan, romantic suspense) he delves into, Ethan Jones continues to polish his craft. Another very good read. I look forward Jones' next book no matter what the genre.
May 1, 2018
Another thriller in this series. Javin has to make a deal with an enemy to get his partner, Claudia, out of a Sauda prison. She escapes on her own and sets out to find Javin. Their boss betrays them. They reunite and set out to try to capture Martin, their boss.
A lot of action in this series to keep you enthralled.

This was nota book I could get in to, there were too many different groups and characters for my head to take in. I gave it three stars for the story and I had read all the previous books and needed to read the end .

Another exciting book in a series of action, thrills and danger. What can you do when you are an agent and you and your partner are betrayed by your boss...you take action to see that justice is done, no matter the danger and no matter who you have to use to assist you; even your enemies.
March 27, 2018
Treacherous bosses abound in Ethan Jones’s books, which makes me wonder if the author is telling us something about real life…? Will Javin and Claudia find justice, and if so, what will it cost them? I was on the edge of my seat, desperate to see the end of this maze of plots and counter-plots. I look forward to reading their next mission.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book.

This is the third book in this series. I am lucky to have read all three of them. Like the rest of the series, it grabs you by the seat of your pants and does not let go until the last page.
