Publisher's summary

“One of the best thrillers you'll read this year.” (Lee Child, number-one New York Times best-selling author)

No one knows what CIA desk jockey Zac Miller is capable of - including himself - until a routine surveillance job becomes a do-or-die mission in the Middle East.

When a commercial flight violates restricted airspace to make an emergency landing at a closed airport in Iran, the passengers are just happy to be alive and ready to transfer to a functional plane. All of them except one...the American technology consultant in business class is not who he says he is.

Zac Miller is a CIA analyst. And after an agent's cover gets blown, Zac - though never trained to be a field operative - volunteers to take his place, to keep a surveillance mission from being scrubbed. Zac thinks it will be easy to photograph the earthquake-ravaged airport that is located near a hidden top-secret nuclear facility. But when everything that can go wrong does, he finds himself on the run from the Islamic Revolutionary Guards and abandoned by his own teammates, who think he has gone rogue.

Embarking on a harrowing journey through the mountains of Iran to the Persian Gulf and across Europe, Zac can only rely on himself. But even if he makes it out alive, the life he once had may be lost to him forever....

Critic reviews

“A Ulysses-like odyssey... If only he'd run into a whirlpool and a monster, readers might mistake this adventure for a tale by Homer.... Let's hope for more Zac Miller adventures.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“A fine thrill ride... The writing is lean and propulsive, the characters offbeat and interesting." (Booklist)

"Starts with a bang, and then gets better and better....” (Lee Child, number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Midnight Line)

Great Plot, Characters and Narration!!!

I loved this and really hope it becomes an extended series. Very well done all around.

Borne Identity Revisited

$5 series sale. I read book 2 first out of order and it’s a good thing or I would not have continued with this series if I had started with this book one. Jonathan Davis is a superb narrator and he made this book, so if you are a fan of his like I am, do not miss Sandra Brown’s mean streak where I discovered Mr. Davises talents.
If you love the Bourne identity, you will love this book. Book 3 is it in Somalia and based on this book I don’t care to go there. Books set in Russia with thugs and the Middle East with their hatred of women rights, are not stories for me. l don’t care to hear stories with descriptions of how they debase women’s rights. For me that’s not entertainment it just piles on the injustice in the world. My favorite reviewers love this series so read Shelly and Wayne for their great take and decide.
Were my comments of help?

solid story and great narration

If you're a fan of action thrillers, then this book is for you.

The story flows smoothly and keeps you on edge while the narrator does a superb job of conveying the story and characters.

Jonathan Davis made the story!

Many truly unbelievable far fetched scenarios in my opinion. Still a good story. Will see what the next book brings.

Great listen

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Fast paced and kept my interest beginning to end. Packed with action. Narration was great. Accents were a little off.

A cat with only 9 lives would be jealous.

A few to many unsurvivable situations in which an untrained individual outwits all other career spy types and Mother Nature to save the day.
A good storyline and interesting characters but hard to believe at times.

Wow! Excellent debut novel

I really enjoyed this. I was exhausted at times wishing Zach could just get a break. Fast moving, great detail and enjoyable

Excellent story!

A terrific narrative taking place in contemporary Iran. The author’s research provides a great deal of interesting insight into the culture and history of this land interwoven with the adventures of a thoroughly likable hero.

Grabbed my from the beginning!

Loved it, the action does not stop from chapter one with twists and turns all the way through. it was a fun listen.

A little hard to follow

Interesting story. I found it hard to follow the characters. At least it ended better than i thought it would
