The world's top assassin only has one name on his list. Mark Pierce.

Years ago, CIA paramilitary officer Mark Pierce was infiltrated into the Russian special forces under an assumed identity—Arkady Volkov. That mission ended when Pierce faked his own death.

Present day, on a mission in Kuala Lumpur, Pierce encounters his former Russian commander, currently operating as an elite assassin known only as Rubicon. Now that the Russians realize he is alive, Pierce instantly has a target on his back.

But he has other things to worry about. A technologically superior Chinese hypersonic missile has crashed into Japanese territorial waters and Pierce and his team are tasked with its recovery. A dangerous mission which turns into something far deadlier when Rubicon begins to stalk them, determined to have his revenge.

A deadly manhunt from the neon-lit streets of Osaka to the jungles of Southeast Asia forces Pierce to confront the demons of his past. His secret history now endangers his unsuspecting team, who know nothing of the monster he once served.

To stop Rubicon and prevent a global catastrophe, Pierce must resurrect the lethal skills of Arkady Volkov. But in becoming the man he swore to leave behind, will he lose himself to the darkness for good?

Shadow Strike—the eighth in the stunning Trigger Man action thriller series. Perfect for fans of Mark Greaney, Rob Sinclair and Brad Thor.
