A modern Indiana Jones steals a relic of Alexander the Great in
this thrilling debut novel.
Jonathan Blake makes a living stealing antiquities stealing them
back, that is. A field agent for the Argo Foundation, a company
that makes it their business to preserve humanity s history by
liberating stolen artifacts from thieves and looters, Blake is used
to dangerous assignments. But when he is forced by the US
government into a deadly mission involving a missing Napoleonic
standard, he finds himself in over his head.
Blake is pitted against Vanya, the head of a fanatical cult, who
seeks a gilded bronze eagle that holds a vital clue to the lost
tomb of Alexander the Great.
From ancient ruins in Afghanistan to the catacombs of Paris to a
chateau high in the French Alps, Blake must unravel the secret
truth of the final fate of Napoleon Bonaparte, the murder of Percy
Bysshe Shelley, and the hidden remains of Alexander. And he must do
it before Vanya s apocalyptic plans for humanity come to their
deadly fruition.
Inspired by real CIA operations, this is the riveting novel of a
fraying CIA analyst who conducts secret mind-control experiments
and the young agent who, years later, uncovers the appalling legacy
of the program and the people destroyed by it.
From its official sanction in 1953 to its shutdown in 1973, the
CIA clandestinely conducted methods of mind control on unwitting
American and Canadian citizens. This covert and illegal operation,
Project MK Ultra, eventually made national headlines upon the
declassification of thousands of documents in 2001.
Intrigued by the people empowered to enact such abuses and the
legacy of such an operation, Scott O Connor weaves the nuanced and
compelling story of Henry March, a CIA agent forced to spearhead a
series of insidious mind-control experiments in San Francisco. With
each passing day, Henry s existence becomes a nightmare, his
identity withering as he works over the hapless men lured into his
facility. Struggling between his duty to his country and his
responsibility to his wife and children, Henry finally reaches a
breaking point, leaving both his project and mind fractured. Amid
the wreckage, he disappears, becoming the deepest Ultra
mystery.
Two decades later, Dickie Ashby, a young CIA agent, is sent to
Los Angeles to infiltrate a group of bank-robbing radicals who
claim to have been abused in a government brainwashing operation
years earlier. The members of the group know they need to find
Henry March and that the only bridge to Henry is his daughter,
Hannah, who lives in the city. Dickie suddenly finds himself
dragged into the stunning legacy of the experiments, torn between
doing his job, helping the victims of Henry s program, and
protecting Hannah.
Called one to watch ("Los Angeles Times") and hailed for his
ability to make something beautiful of unspeakable matters ("New
York Times"), O Connor will stir your emotions with "Half World," a
mesmerizing novel about reality and the basic incorruptible value
of human relationships.
In 1969, at the age of twenty-three, Karl Marlantes was dropped
into the highland jungle of Vietnam, an inexperienced lieutenant in
command of a platoon of forty marines who would live or die by his
decisions. Marlantes survived, but like many of his brothers in
arms, he has spent the last forty years dealing with his war
experience. In his first work of nonfiction, Marlantes takes a
deeply personal and candid look at what it is like to experience
the ordeal of combat, critically examining how we might better
prepare our soldiers for war. Just as Matterhorn is already
acclaimed a classic of war literature, "What It Is Like to Go to
War" is set to become required reading for anyone--soldier or
civilian--interested in this visceral and all too essential part of
the human experience.
