Total Empire - (Garrett Sinclair) by A J Tata (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

General Garrett Sinclair undertakes a rogue mission in the Sahara Desert to thwart an international nuclear threat in Total Empire, an explosive thriller from A. J. Tata.

When Sergeant Major Sylvester "Sly" Morgan is killed on a mission, his daughter, Zoey, tells General Garrett Sinclair that her father's death wasn't random. Morgan had recorded a high-level meeting between Chinese, American, and French diplomats as they spoke about a plan for a new global government.

The "Chinese-U.S. Partnership", or CUSP, intends to combine the world's two largest economies and militaries to usher in a new era of partnership and leadership. But China's offer has a deadline and penalties for noncompliance. As a safeguard, China has five high-tech hypersonic glide vehicles armed with nuclear weapons orbiting the earth ready to strike. When Zoey disappears in Africa, seemingly while in pursuit of her father's killer, Sinclair and Dagger Team are caught off-guard as they scramble to catch up.

Without authorization or support from his government, Sinclair takes his team into the maw of the Saharan death pit, the Eye of Africa. In what will prove to be his most dangerous mission yet, Sinclair must overcome tremendous odds, with the threat of nuclear Armageddon hanging in the balance.

"[A] hybrid between Lee Child's "Jack Reacher," Clint Eastwood's "Dirty Harry," and Daniel Silva's "Gabriel Allon." ...General A.J. Tata (retired) proves to be a masterful storyteller, and weaves a convoluted, action packed narrative, brimming with authentic action sequences (as only told through the eyes of someone who actually has experienced the raw devastation of war). Tata expertly layers multidimensional characterizations onto both Sinclair and Parizad. The result is a riveting and deadly "cat and mouse" encounter that is truly cinematic and escalates into an exhilarating denouement...Hopefully further exploits of Garrett Sinclair will follow." --Mystery & Suspense
