Manipulation
A trek through the Australian desert doesn’t usually get you shot
But not everyone is Wade Ross, Special Forces soldier. He was on a journey of spiritual enlightenment, that is, until he is shot by a 7.62mm SLR. Now it’s time to return to civilisation and find out who these men work for, why they want to kill him and how he can find and destroy them first.
Investigations lead to a possible Samantha Cooper, the sister of ex-Vice President Daniel Cooper. Can Ross track down his assassins before they find him? When those close to him begin to get hurt, Ross’ mission changes. It is no longer about survival, but revenge…
Manipulation is a fast-paced international thriller that transports readers from the deserts of Australia and Israel to the coast of Porto Cervo and the lakes of Geneva.

A very intricate story extremely well told.
The story was well told, had good interesting characters with a leader (Wade Ross) who knew what he was doing and to lead others extremely well.

Found it a bit far fetched wade gets shot in the desert and find all the plants to help him while in the sniper range then leaves Crystal 3 times and she gets captured even thoughhe said she wouldn't get hurt again !!

This book totally captured me, I couldn't put it down. It was well researched taking me to places I'd never heard of, the action was gripping and I like the central character Wade Ross. It's nice to see a little bit of Australia in the book, giving me a broader understanding of the indigenous people there. I hope that the love affair between Wade and Crystal continues, but I guess I'm going to have to wait until the third book for that. Highly recommend this book, with it's action, well written and graphic details of the Secret Service and beyond.
