Fade

The New York Times–bestselling author of Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp novels delivers "a first-ballot certainty for the Thriller Hall of Fame" (Lee Child).

Welcome to the new war on terror. A secret wing of Homeland Security is recruiting agents to work undercover in the Middle East, and the director wants his second-in-command, Matt Egan, to bring aboard an old friend, Salam Al Fayed—better known as Fade. He's perfect: An ex-Navy Seal and the son of immigrants, he speaks flawless Arabic.

Trouble is, he's "retired"; he was wounded in the line of duty, and the government refused to pay for the risky surgery that could have helped him. Now he's walking around with a bullet lodged near his spine, and he's not too fond of anyone in the government—least of all, his ex-best friend Matt Egan, whom he blames for his present condition.

Against Egan's wishes, the director tries to "persuade" Fade to join the team. But Fade is prepared to fight back at any cost. The chase is on—will Matt be able to find his friend-turned-fugitive before Fade can take the ultimate revenge?

Fade is a remarkable, take-no-prisoners thriller from an unparalleled writer at the height of his talents.

"Fade rivals James Bond with his hardware-based survival skills." —Entertainment Weekly "Fade will stay with you long after you have finished this well-crafted thriller." —Stephen Frey, New York Times–bestselling author
