“One of the best thrillers you'll read this year.”—Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling 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

Praise for Warning Light

“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...one of the best thrillers you'll read this year.”—Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Line

“This is a fun and heady combination of suspense and intrigue. Believable and provocative, it’s a tough-as-nails-tug-of-war definitely worth your time.”—Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Order

Warning Light is a blazing thriller with relentless pace and impressive detail. An engaging combination of intrigue and action, along with a breakneck cadence that will keep readers flipping pages to the end, Warning Light is a winner."—Mark Greaney, New York Times bestselling author of Gunmetal Gray

“Starts fast and never stops—you’ll be turning pages as quickly as CIA operative Zac Miller uses his wits to outwit Iran’s brutal Revolutionary Guard and bring priceless intelligence home.”—Alex Berenson, New York Times bestselling author of The Prisoner.

“A breakneck debut thriller that Ludlum fans will devour.”—Grant Blackwood, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Clancy Duty and Honor

“If you like a great chase scene, then you’re going to love David Ricciardi's great chase novel Warning Light. In the air, over land, across continents, across the seas. The tension never flags. And the payoff? It's big."—James Abel, national bestselling author of Cold Silence

Warning Light is best read in one sitting, like a ride on the Tilt-a-Whirl. Imagine an Adam Hall or Robert Ludlum played out over an all-too plausible Middle East scenario. Plenty of twists, turns, and action on land, sea, and air with a very scary underlying premise. Mr. Ricciardi knows his subject and conveys his story with non-stop suspense. The best spy thriller I have read this year.”—Michael Sears, author of Saving Jason

$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.

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

Jonathan Davis made the story!

I really hope that this book is the beginning of a series. I thought it was fantastic. Once I started listening I could not stop until the book ended, and even then I was sorry when it was over. I mean this poor guy, Zac Miller went from one impossible situation to the next and I kept thinking that something was going to happen. Some kind of circumstance that he would not be able to get out of. This book is so well written and the character of Zac is so unassuming that he seems to come up with these half baked plans on the fly. What makes him stand apart from so many other characters in espionage books is that Miller doesn't sit a map out a strategy. His opponents and conflicts just happen on his way to escaping Iran where his plane made an emergency landing.
This book is excellent fast paced reading and the ending leaves it open for additional books (one can only hope).
Jonathan Davis does an outstanding job narrating.
My HIGHEST RECOMMENDATIONS!!
