Weapons Grade (Covert Action, #1)

(originally published as Scorpion: A Covert Ops Novel)

When a high-ranking CIA officer is abducted by terrorists in Tajikistan, freelance operative Avery is tasked with securing the hostage’s release before dozens of classified operations and agents are compromised.

But a raid on a terrorist safe house yields startling clues pointing in another direction entirely. Avery and his team of paramilitary operators are soon unraveling a conspiracy involving an American traitor, double agents, and Russian criminal elements seeking to arm a Taliban warlord with weapons of mass destruction.

From the remote terrorist enclaves of Central Asia, to the nuclear facilities of the former Soviet Union, WEAPONS GRADE is a riveting debut novel, the first in a series of covert action thrillers, packed with gritty, violent action that will appeal to readers of Vince Flynn and Brad Thor.
