The Maven Effect

by Jono Pech

Journalist turned whistleblower Andrew Maven believed the truth held enough power to change the world. He thought uncovering a government conspiracy would be enough to shake things up, but all it did was land him on the CIA's "most-wanted" list.

Now as a fugitive separated from his rogue-spy allies, Maven's simple life as an online personality has been turned upside-down. He has one last plan to set the record straight, one more chance to find the smoking gun he needs to take the power back.

Can Maven track down the remnants of an international secret intelligence agency to find his proof, or will the unforgiving world of espionage cave in around him?

All he knows is there's nothing left to lose... and he's not afraid anymore.
