Publisher Description
Russian meddling, American fragmentation, and global politics collide in this action-packed, international thriller.
In The Nemesis Manifesto, New York Times bestselling author Eric Van Lustbader, "the master of the smart thriller,"* delivers an epic and harrowing adventure of the predatory forces that are threatening the very fabric of democracy and kicks off a compelling new series with a singular new hero for our time.
Evan Ryder is a lone wolf, a field agent for a black-ops arm of the DOD, who has survived unspeakable tragedy and dedicated her life to protecting her country. When her fellow agents begin to be systematically eliminated, Evan must unravel the thread that ties them all together...and before her name comes up on the kill list.
The list belongs to a mysterious cabal known only as Nemesis, a hostile entity hell-bent on tearing the United States apart. As Evan tracks them from Washington D.C. to the Caucasus Mountains, from Austria to a fortress in Germany where her own demons reside, she unearths a network of conspirators far more complex than anyone could have imagined. Can Evan uproot them before Nemesis forces bring democracy to its knees?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Eric Van Lustbader (The Bourne Legacy) launches a new espionage series introducing Evan Ryder, a field operative drawn into a deadly chain of assassinations targeting her fellow agents. Following the threads leads her into a labyrinth of shifting alliances, buried loyalties, and a network of actors intent on destabilizing the United States from within. The intense action stretches across Washington and Europe, with covert cells, compromised power brokers, and a conspiracy that thrives on secrecy and chaos. Lustbader leans into modern geopolitical anxieties and the psychological toll of spycraft while still delivering a fast-moving plot filled with plenty of hand-to-hand combat and sudden betrayals. Lauren Fortgang’s controlled, confident narration captures both Ryder’s steel and her vulnerability while smoothly navigating the novel’s multiple perspectives as loyalties flip and the pressure mounts. The Nemesis Manifesto is a high-voltage thriller with a heroine who refuses to back down.
