by James A. Scott - Fiction, Suspense, Thriller

Former CIA Russia expert Max Geller is recovering from an intense mission while lying low in Australia, enjoying his sudden wealth in the company of his new girlfriend, Vanessa. But his beachy bliss is short-lived when he is ambushed by the CIA. He soon learns that Vanessa is being used as blackmail by his former CIA boss, Rodney, to convince him to go to Moscow. His mission is to smuggle out a defector with knowledge of a secret Kremlin war plan. Max is wanted by the Russians, so the defector could be bait to lure him into the hands of his old enemy, FSB Colonel Zabluda. When Max is spotted in Moscow, Zabluda launches a manhunt, pursuing him and the defector across country lines. Max and the defector race to evade countless attacks and attempts at capture as they escape to the United States.
