Beschreibung des Verlags
The first novel in an explosive new series inspired by Robert Ludlum's Bourne universe, The Treadstone Resurrection introduces an unforgettable hero and the shadowy world that forged him...
Treadstone made Jason Bourne an unstoppable force, but he's not the only one.
Operation Treadstone has nearly ruined Adam Hayes. The top-secret CIA Black Ops program trained him to be an all but invincible assassin, but it also cost him his family and any chance at a normal life. Which is why he was determined to get out. Working as a carpenter in rural Washington state, Adam thinks he has left Treadstone in the past, until he receives a mysterious email from a former colleague, and soon after is attacked by an unknown hit team at his job site.
Adam must regain the skills that Treadstone taught him--lightning reflexes and a cold conscience--in order to discover who the would-be killers are and why they have come after him now. Are his pursuers enemies from a long-ago mission? Rival intelligence agents? Or, perhaps, forces inside Treadstone? His search will unearth secrets in the highest levels of government and pull him back into the shadowy world he worked so hard to forget.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This uneven series launch from Hood (Clear by Fire) introduces Adam Hayes, a graduate of the secret agency Treadstone, first seen in Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne series. Like Bourne, Hayes wants to forget his violent past and sink into obscurity, but that's not going to happen once Hayes gets dragged into a mission by Nick Ford, an old agent friend from his Treadstone days who is trapped in a fire fight in rural Venezuela. Shortly before Ford is shot dead, he sends Hayes an email with a picture showing CIA agent Jefferson Gray in an aircraft hangar with Col. Carlos Vega, the head of Venezuela's secret police. Vega is involved, as is Grey, with the president of Venezuela, Eduardo D az, in a drug smuggling scheme. The semibionic Hayes is fascinating to follow through the many long, intricate action scenes, but the sheer number of bad guys, who are continually double-crossing each other and have overly complicated motivations, makes it hard for the reader to keep track of the plot. Perhaps next time Hayes's foes will be more distinct and more worthy opponents.
