BETRAYAL: Imagine Vince Flynn's TERM LIMITS meets David Baldacci's ABSOLUTE POWER.

Presumed dead after a staged terrorist attack, FBI Agent Odysseus Carr is running for his life with the doctor who rescued him. Meanwhile, the same power players who sent Odi to his death are now manipulating an FBI profiler into blindly tracking him down. She's not just their best, she's also his sister.

As Odi unravels a devious plot of profound political manipulation and global consequence, the hunted becomes the hunter, and the real terror begins.
_______________________________________

FLASH: Imagine Robert Ludlum's THE BOURNE IDENTITY meets John Grisham's THE FIRM.

Two blood-spattered strangers awake, locked in the trunk of a car--with a murdered cop and the smoking gun. Aside from raging headaches and no idea what's happened, they appear to have nothing in common. Troy thinks it's 2001 and he's still a combat surgeon fighting terrorists in Afghanistan. Emmy believes it's 2002 and she's still grifting a living from the streets of L.A.

Are they archenemies or coconspirators? Lovers or friends? What are they doing in the Caribbean, and why is a Croatian assassin determined to kill them? The only thing they know for certain is that they'll be spending the rest of their lives in prison if the police catch them before they learn the truth.

About the author

Tim Tigner

23 books1,051 followers
Tim began his career in Soviet Counterintelligence with the US Army Special Forces, the Green Berets. That was back in the Cold War days when, “We learned Russian so you didn't have to,” something he did at the Presidio of Monterey alongside Recon Marines and Navy SEALs.

With the fall of the Berlin Wall, Tim switched from espionage to arbitrage. Armed with a Wharton MBA rather than a Colt M16, he moved to Moscow in the midst of Perestroika. There, he led prominent multinational medical companies, worked with cosmonauts on the MIR Space Station (from Earth, alas), chaired the Association of International Pharmaceutical Manufacturers, and helped write Russia’s first law on healthcare.

Moving to Brussels during the formation of the EU, Tim ran Europe, Middle East, and Africa for a Johnson & Johnson company and traveled like a character in a Robert Ludlum novel. He eventually landed in Silicon Valley, where he launched new medical technologies as a startup CEO.

In his free time, Tim has climbed the peaks of Mount Olympus, went hang gliding from the cliffs of Rio de Janeiro, and ballooned over Belgium. He earned scuba certification in Turkey, learned to ski in Slovenia, and ran the Serengeti with a Maasai warrior. He acted on stage in Portugal, taught negotiations in Germany, and chaired a healthcare conference in Holland. Tim studied psychology in France, radiology in England, and philosophy in Greece. He has enjoyed ballet at the Bolshoi, the opera on Lake Como, and the symphony in Vienna. He’s been a marathoner, paratrooper, triathlete, and yogi.

Intent on combining his creativity with his experience, Tim began writing thrillers in 1996 from an apartment overlooking Moscow’s Gorky Park. Twenty years later, his passion for creative writing continues to grow every day. His home office now overlooks a vineyard in Northern California.

Tim grew up in the Midwest, and graduated from Hanover College with a BA in Philosophy and Mathematics. After military service and work as a financial analyst and foreign-exchange trader, he earned an MBA in Finance and an MA in International Studies from the University of Pennsylvania.

Two Brilliant books that really impressed me. Tim Tigner is such a talent, and I can see why so many readers have given him 5 Star Ratings for his books. These two stories 'Betrayal' and 'Flash' are both highly entertaining, and I quite enjoyed the intrigue and complexity of them. They are both fast paced Thrillers, with a good amount of action scenes in each of them. The stand out for me is the amount of work the Author puts into the characters, and how easily it is to connect with them. There is no doubt that these two books are well worth a read.

One of this country’s finest mystery writers

Tim Tigner comes to his role as a novelist specializing in political intrigue with a rich background. His academic preparation is a combination of mathematics and philosophy, but after academia his instinct for investigation and thrill seeking led him to serve in the Green Berets, specializing in Russian and Soviet counterintelligence. When Perestroika/Glasnost ‘opened’ Russia (or at least by their definition made it more transparent) led to the fall of the Berlin wall, Tigner’s direction shifted from espionage to arbitrage and he moved form Russia to Brussels where he witnessed the formation of the European Union: his change in focus shifted back to the US and further degrees in business and International Studies and settled in the Silicon Valley as a corporate type in the medical device industry. And as if that background weren’t sufficient he continued his travels around the world expending energy as mountain climber, a hand glider, a parachuter, and in every sense of the word an adventurer. Now he follows his obsession with reading thrillers by writing them.

Two of Tim’s novels are now available together. He has the ability to concoct some outrageous situations: in FLASH he deals with the shared trunk of a car by two disparate seemingly non-united (except by the question of how the man and the woman ended up soaked in blood in a car whose only other companion is a murdered policeman) people who work their way back from amnesia into reality, discover the background of each other and figuring out how to avoid taking the blame of a rather ludicrous crime. But Tigner takes this impossible situation and makes it not only plausible but harrowingly terrifying – and a few other sidebars that keep the reader physically attached to this book until the final page. In BETRAYAL (written in 2004-2005, shortly before a terrorist incident in the UK led to the banning of liquids on airplanes) the story moves from Iran to the US. The characters are sharply painted and his choice to make the main characters of the story twins – Odysseus and Cassandra Carr (yes, the names are well chosen) – both involved with the FBI though on different pathways. The espionage of uncovering the headquarters of the Al-Qaeda and the narrow escape sets the pace but even though the story is beautifully crafted, the principal horror we encounter is the act of betrayal that has climbed all the way to the top of the government. Tigner understands exactly how to shape this journey so that the impact hits the reader solidly and lethally before there is the necessary resolution at book’s end.

Some critics are drawing comparisons with the well-known writers of espionage and thrillers, and while that is meant as a compliment to Tim Tigner at this stage in his career, for this reader Tigner is a much more humanistically oriented writer in the manner in which he always allows the reader to stay in touch with the core of the honest characters instead of creating more James Bonds. He, simply, is a very fine writer.

Tim Tigner 2 Pack
BETRAYAL
This is a VERY fast-paced techno-thriller worthy of the highest praise. The author's background as a Special Forces veteran makes his action scenes and tactical fight sequences very believable. And indeed the plot with two-dozen "uniquely" constructed bombs are very believable. Besides being an "operator" the author Tim Tigner is obviously also a techno-gadget-geek. A VERY well constructed blot. A very believable plot device. And a great action story, with very good "good guys" and very bad "bad guys".
FLASH
If you like BRAD THOR, or VINCE FLYNN, or BRIAN HAIG, or as the author suggests LEE CHILD, or DAVID BALDACCI, your will love TIM TIGNER. Although the third of Tigner's published books, I picked up FLASH first because the hero is a combat veteran from Afghanistan. The action is very fast-paced. The reader is hooked from the first sentence: "Troy awoke to the sound of screaming. That was not unusual for a combat surgeon, but hearing soprano was." Tigner writes an exciting morality play - the good guys are very good and the bad guys are very bad. And it doesn't hurt that one of the "bad guys" is an attorney. The characters that Tigner creates are very interesting. The plot is well developed. The book is very hard to put down. If I didn't have a day-job that required me to get a good nights' sleep every day, I would have read it in one sitting.

Good story and plot - quite involved. I have to get used to the way Tigner writes. Tends to skip over small details ( I had to look to see if I was reading an abridged version. I hope it wasn’t as I couldn’t find anything to indicate it.). Tigner writes that Ody and his twin sister Cassi are very close. Yet neither lets the other know when something major happens in their life! Cassi says she is so alone with no one to talk to when Wiley breaks up with her. And when Ody comes back to the states he doesn’t let his sister know that he’s not dead! Also why didn’t he question more about Ayden being so eager to aid him in all his murdering? Was he that trusting of him? Tigner should have given us more of Ayden’s history sooner, and more interaction between him and Ody so that we understand Ody’s great belief in the man. And glory seeking politicians?? I guess I can believe that, but defense contractors spending $$$ to murder American soldiers for $$$ ? I guess it all could happen, but my view of life is somewhat rosier!!

Tim Tigner, the best thriller writer you've (probably) never read

Tim Tigner flies under the radar, it seems to me, but he deserves to be up there with the best. His Kyle Achilles series is outstanding but his standalone thrillers are just as amazing. Read any of his books and I defy you not to be entertained and in awe.
Grab this set, grab all his other books, lock the doors, turn off your phone and get comfy because you'll be in it for the long haul. You're welcome. Enjoy.

Gripping

Tim Tigner's Betrayal and Flash are both gripping novels that life you in and don't let go! Betrayal is an enthralling novel of siblings' love, revenge, anger, betrayal, and danger all flawlessly mixed into one. Flash is another flawless mix of emotion, this time being new love, danger, coercion, ruthlessness, trickery, and secrecy. Both are amazing books that you won't regret reading!

Very imaginative but believable

The heroes in this novel must tackle some pretty stiff odds to overcome the obstacles in their way. But with imagination and resourcefulness they manage. The also help preserve the american way of life in the process . Read to the end to see if the manage to find their own happy ending.

Excellent read! This was impossible to put down, a real page-turner! Action, suspense, romance...this book has it all in spades!

The plot is ingenious and the characters soon become your friends. Tim Tigner has become my new favorite author. I strongly recommend you give his books a try immediately!

I will read anything by this author

I love this author's work. His plots are unique, and I enjoy his writing style. If you like thrillers that make you think and you enjoy staying up way too late because you can't wait to find out what's next, I recommend this two book set, or any of his books, really.

Read the second book. It is a much better book than the first

This is a two book series. Both are"thrillers but the second one is more likely to hold your interest. Tigner has written some good books but he seems that he is heading into new territory. This doesn't mean that the books are not as good, just different.

Not terrible

Competently written, but occasionally trite; somewhat predictable. I wish I could have been more enthused about the characters but the development wasn’t pushed as far as I’d have liked.

Betrayal & Flash

I thoroughly enjoyed both of these books. I have found another author to read. Each book is a stand alone, I didn't realize this at the time. Great stories and look forward to the others that I've downloaded by Mr Tigner. Highly recommend.

One to follow!

So far, all 5 of the books I've read by this author have been page turners. I made the mistake of getting a set of 3. I am retired and therefore had the time to be up for a couple days to finish them all! Really, really good. Looking for my next read by Tim.

Very nice

The premise for the mystery in the book was very captivating. How the characters overcome no memory for seven years and rectify the crimes committed against them is very ingenious. Great read.

Tigner thrillers are just that

I gave it 5 🌟 because once I started I didn't stop, it was a great read and very entertaining by far the best books I've read this year. I'm sure you'll like it too, the dialog just flows along without any chance to get boring.😊 thanks!

Great story...too much lewdness

This was a great storyline, but the lustfulness of the male characters and the disgusting lewd acts described made me enjoy the story much less than if those things hadn't been in there.

Great stuff for the genre. Tigner engages and develops real characters who one can connect with and care about. One of the illusive writing skills that makes all the difference between a yawner and a "can't put it down" read.

Great story by a superlative tale teller.

These two stories held me thorougly
engrossed and tied up metaphorically from beginning until the wonderful endings. This is a gifted writers have been gifted with.

As a 2-pack, I thought it was the first 2 books of a series the way many authors do, but there are two standalone books.

I enjoyed both!
