About the Book
As the space race heats up, Robert Flynn comes out of retirement to assist the fledgling CIA. He makes a shocking discovery: his friend Wes, presumed dead, is operating as a Soviet assassin.Book Synopsis
A Robert Flynn Novel Robert Flynn abandoned a sterling military career when his best friend and fellow soldier, Wesley Pike, died under his command. More than a decade later, Flynn's quiet life is disturbed by the troubles of a fledgling CIA and Alexander Grant, a flashy agent with a lot to prove. As the space race between the United States and the Soviets heats up and the body count rises, the two men fight to find common ground. Grant knows Flynn believes in the cause, but all Flynn sees is the opportunity to fail someone like he failed Wes. An attack by a Soviet agent spurs Flynn to action and a reluctant association with the agency, and tilts Flynn's world on its axis with a shocking discovery: Wesley Pike may be alive and operating as a Soviet assassin. With Grant to bankroll the operation, his superiors looking the other way, and Flynn's hard-earned peace officially forfeit, Flynn reunites his old team with the singular goal of finding Wes. But they get more than they bargained for--Wes is amnesiac and dangerous, brainwashed into becoming the perfect weapon. Flynn struggles to reach his friend, lead his team, and navigate his charged relationship with Grant--something neither of them expected and aren't sure how to parse--while coming to grips with his long-buried feelings for Wes.About the Author
J.T. Rogers grew up wanting to be either a superhero or a spy--but rather than pick one over the other, she chose to become a writer instead so she could be both in her spare time. Her fiction reflects her childhood obsessions, blending together the distrustful, cloak-and-dagger world of spies with the high-octane action and camaraderie of her favorite superheroes.
The product of a bilingual education and an alumna of a handful of universities, J.T.'s passions include history, comic books, and Shakespeare. She has lived all over North America and loves to weave threads of authentic local color into her stories. Just ask her about Lucy the Elephant.
Currently, she's living the dream of being overworked and underpaid. She writes to stay sane--or that's the story she likes to tell, at least.
