Produktbeschreibung

Meet terrorism's worst enemy in BookLife Award's 2016 Quarter Finalist From the best-selling & award-winning author critics hail as "one of the strongest thriller writers on our scene" comes an unforgettable story of an unlikely "anti-hero." Robert Garcia was an unremarkable man, tapped out of a promising military career to become a death squad assassin for the CIA. Retirement was not in the cards for Robert, so he disappeared instead. After he comes out of the cold to answer the call to aid a fellow soldier facing a bum rap, he is thrust back into the spotlight when he is in the wrong place at the wrong time and kills a terrorist, thereby saving dozens of lives. He finds gainful employment in the slaughter of jihadists, which sparks an urban legend that Robert, a dangerous and unfeeling assassin, is a living paladin, whose mission is to rid the earth of evil for the betterment of mankind. Social media gives him the name: "Paladine" and God help whoever gets between him and his next target. Discover what critics are saying about this new terrorism thriller: "In this well-written and fast-paced thriller, the author demonstrates skill not only with plot, but with character -- and character is what makes this book stand out. An ill-fated love story and an irresistible dog only deepen what could be just another hit-man-killing-jihadists story." --Publisher's Weekly, Booklife Prize in Fiction "A satisfyingly original, compelling piece that moves well beyond genre writing and into the realm of military precision, insight, and adventure, linking action into modern-day pursuits and concerns with the precision of a surgeon. Highly recommended reading for anyone looking for a protagonist and purpose that goes the extra mile, and then keeps on running." Midwest Book Review "A sharp, intelligent, unsentimental thriller that basks in Kenneth Eade's encyclopaedic knowledge of current affairs. In Robert Garcia, readers are given an anti-hero in the vein of Jack Reacher, but with far more moral complexity. "Paladine" has as much entertainment value as most novels in the genre, but delivers a truckload of substance along with it."Best Thrillers Find out what other readers already know about this hot new assassination thriller: "If you like Mitch Rapp, this is for you. Can't put it down!" Harold "Grabbed my attention on the second page. Takes so many turns. The characters come to life, and you cannot even fathom the ending. Be prepared, you cannot put this down once you start." G. Swinney "One of the best thrillers I've read in a while. It grabs your attention, right from the start and brings you through curves and twists, but helps you understand all that is going on along the way." Amy Bright "This book is an exciting read and very well written. Mr. Eade has certainly earned his place on my list of favorite writers. I buy a lot of books from Amazon and most of the so called thriller writers are not. Mr. Eade is the real deal for me.Stewart Rothwell, UK

Autorenporträt

Described by critics as "one of our strongest thriller writers on the scene," author Kenneth Eade, best known for his legal and political thrillers, practiced International law, Intellectual Property law and E-Commerce law for 30 years before publishing his first novel, "An Involuntary Spy." Eade, an award-winning, best-selling Top 100 thriller author, has been described by his peers as "one of the up-and-coming legal thriller writers of this generation." He is the 2015 winner of Best Legal Thriller from Beverly Hills Book Awards and the 2016 winner of a bronze medal in the category of Fiction, Mystery and Murder from the Reader's Favorite International Book Awards. His latest novel, "Paladine," a quarter-finalist in Publisher's Weekly's 2016 BookLife Prize for Fiction and winner in the 2017 RONE Awards. Eade has authored three fiction series: The "Brent Marks Legal Thriller Series", the "Involuntary Spy Espionage Series" and the "Paladine Anti-Terrorism Series." He has written twenty novels which have been translated into French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese."I've been writing all my life, but began publishing my work out of a passion for the environment. My wife, Valentina, is a professional photographer, who worked for two years on an environmental exhibition called, "Bee Cause I Care" which was exhibited in 2014 by the Prince Albert II Foundation to bring awareness to the importance of pollinators and the dangers facing them. I penned a few articles on the subject for the Los Angeles Daily Journal and turned my research into my first book, "Bless the Bees." That passion continued with the publication of my novel, "An Involuntary Spy," which is an action thriller that also points to the dangers of genetically engineered food. Then I began publishing the "Brent Marks Legal Thriller Series," which, in part, is based on actual experiences during my long career in law."I try to put as much realism in my novels as possible, and they all revolve around important social issues. I treasure all of my readers and love to hear from them, whether it's good or bad. Sometimes I make changes based on their suggestions and one reader has inspired a character that has appeared in my latest seven novels."Email: [e-mail]: https://www.facebook.com/KennethGEadeBestsellingauthorTwitter: https://twitter.com/KennethEade1ECommerce site: http://www.amazonsellers.attorney
