CIA operative Jack Copeland has spent years in the shadows, chasing the elusive forces that framed him for a crime he didn't commit. But when a deadly bioweapon plot masterminded by Russian oligarch Dmitri Orlov threatens millions, Copeland is thrust back into a high-stakes game of global intrigue.
As he races against time to stop the imminent launch of a devastating missile, Copeland uncovers a deeper conspiracy involving the mysterious Senator Reynolds, a man with dangerous ambitions.
With enemies lurking in every shadow and betrayal at every turn, Copeland must rely on his instincts and a team of unlikely allies to prevent a catastrophe. But as the web of deception unravels, he realises that stopping Orlov might only be the beginning.
In a world where trust is a commodity and loyalty is a deadly game, The Silent Betrayal delivers a pulse-pounding thriller of international espionage, betrayal, and the fight to stop a shadowy conspiracy before it's too late.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
The Silent Betrayal is a
pulse-pounding thriller in the Jack Copeland series that keeps you on tenterhooks from beginning to end.
The plot, involving a deadly bioweapon developed by Orlov, international
espionage, and a tangled skein of deceit, is complex and expertly woven. The
author consummately builds a sense of driving suspense while delivering
heart-stopping action sequences.
The
characters are well-developed and credible, particularly the protagonist, Jack
Copeland. He is a compelling character, realistically flawed but indomitable,
who faces relentless betrayal and danger with unwavering grit. His long-time
partner, Karl Langdon, provides a necessary counterpoint, offering humour and unquestioning
support.
The plot
is set against the vivid backdrop of Istanbul, and this adds to the atmosphere
of danger and intrigue. The author effectively uses the city's vibrant
atmosphere and labyrinthine streets to create a sense of unease and
anticipation, highlighting the ever-present threat lurking in the shadows.
The
story maintains a satisfyingly tight coherence. While the plot moves quickly,
the pacing never feels rushed. The author skillfully balances the action
sequences with moments of quiet introspection, which gives readers the
opportunity to connect with the characters and understand their motivations.
The climax is gratifyingly intense, with several convolutions that will leave the
reader breathless.
The
ending, while leaving room for potential sequels, is ultimately satisfying.
Overall, The Silent Betrayal is a superb read for fans of the genre and
faithful followers of the Jack Copeland franchise.
