Produktbeschreibung
Thomas Vale was a math prodigy, expert gambler, and promising CIA recruit. And his act was nearly flawless. But when his secret was revealed - that he'd been masking high-functioning autism - his career in clandestine operations was over before it began. Or so he thought. Years later, when a former mentor resurfaces with a hand-tailored mission, Thom seizes the chance to finally prove himself. He teams up with "Sondra," a mysterious and tough-as-nails spy, to investigate a suspected terrorist financier. They uncover a broader criminal scheme than they could have imagined, and soon the walls start closing in. Outnumbered, outgunned, and overwhelmed by his senses, Thom is pushed to his limits and beyond. And even if he survives ... can he ever go home again? This is the first book in a series of high-octane thrillers featuring an autistic protagonist. This series proudly portrays high-masking autism with authenticity, and includes co-protagonists from a number of underrepresented backgrounds including LGBTQ+, BIPOC, neurodiversity, and physical disability. There is an emphasis on realistic portrayals of science, technology, and espionage tradecraft.

Autorenporträt
Dr. Jeffery John Boats grew up in Allegany, NY. He is currently a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Detroit Mercy. "Blood Game" is Jeffe's debut fiction novel, the first in a series of action thrillers featuring heroes from marginalized and underrepresented backgrounds. The great Paul Erdos once said that a mathematician is a "machine that turns coffee into theorems." Jeffe, instead, turns coffee into stories with a diverse cast of heroes from every walk of life, because saving the world is a job for everyone. When not writing or teaching, Jeffe enjoys spending time with his three children, often lovingly referred to as Chaos, Mayhem, and Havoc. He also plays poker well, chess badly, and baseball the best he can with the merry miscreants of the Detroit Men's Senior Baseball League.
