Belgrade Archer

by Chase Hughes

"A masterclass in spy fiction."

A mind virus that could actually happen...

In this second book in the Pierce Reston series, Pierce and Kelly unite to unravel a sinister plot. 

When a Russian nuclear submarine surfaces in a US Naval base with no one aboard, tensions reach a boiling point. With the discovery of the scariest-yet mind control pandemic threatening to level the Earth as we know it, and a global puppet master who's reach is unlimited, Pierce is forced to go to extreme lengths. 

The US Vice President has been compromised, Russia begins to arm Iran, and Pierce must break every rule to stop a nuclear holocaust.

The only problem is...they are very late to the game.


★★★★★


Soon to be a television series, the Pierce Reston series by Chase Hughes is a work of modern spy fiction that rivals Dan Brown, David Baldacci, and possibly the great Le Carré. 

"In this stunning work, Chase not only divulges serious loopholes in the human mind, but the inner workings of psychology and behavior." 

- Grant Murrell, International Hypnotist 




"Chase's work had me by the throat, as always, from the first chapter. My adrenaline pumped as much for the story as it did in anticipation for what trick I would learn next."

- Dr. Richard Nongard, International expert in the subconscious mind




"This bears a scary resemblance to our lives in today's world, and I hope, for our sake, this type of mind control 'device' in un-engineerable. A truly masterful work of 'fiction' from the master of behavior himself."

-Mark Bowden, Behavior expert, and trainer to the heads of G7 countries

After Phrase Seven, the job suddenly becomes visceral. Kelly and Pierce are thrown into a race against the clock to stop catastrophe. Biological weapons, mind control, U.S. vs Russia being used as pawns, this story has it all.

Chase has setup a world that is only too realistic to our own world. The reality is, the things Chase mentions can happen. It's scary, and the realism makes it all come home in my mind. The pacing, the details about HIG technique....it's all there through the action. I cannot wait to read the next installment in the Reston world, I'm waiting on pins and needles for 'The Fear Maven'!

It looks like this one took ages to read but actually I took a break from it somewhere around a third of the way through. I just wasn’t really getting into it, particularly after enjoying the first book in the series so much, but when I picked it up again I was glad to find that the story picked up momentum and I ended up really enjoying it. I’m looking forward to the next book. Four stars from me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A frightening possibility.

A mind controlling virus? The how, why, and who is responsible had me up late at night seeking answers. At the end I breathed a big sigh of relief and since I had not read Book 1, I immediately went and bought it. I’m hoping there will be a Book 3.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series. Book 2 feels rushed and drawn out. That said, I finished it and I typically will close and never re-open something dull. I'm hopeful that Book 3 has more depth, more twists, and turns, etc...

James Bond crossed with Derren Brown

Highly entertaining read, and all well within the bounds of possibility. Would make a great film or TV series. Looking forward to the third book.

These books are fantastic!

Loved the plot. The writing was spot on. Not too technical. There may have been some typos, but it doesn't take away from what you're reading.
This author is one of the most likable people I’ve ever seen in interviews.

Great Read

Really enjoyed this fast-paced "spy" novel. The story line was great, and I am looking forward to reading book three!
