Descripción editorial
Six years ago, Sam Capra watched his brother, Danny, executed by extremists.
It was the darkest day of his life.
But what if Danny was still alive?
When evidence surfaces that Danny might be leading a secret, hidden life while the world believes him to be dead, Sam uncovers a different side to the brother he thought he knew. Could Danny be plotting a murder that could change history - the assassination of the Russian president?
Determined to stop his brother from committing a murder that may cause a terrible war, Sam goes undercover in a one-man mission to save the world, but how far will he go to save his brother?
Packed full of action and twists, The First Order is an addictive, exhilarating thriller that shows international bestseller Jeff Abbott at the height of his powers.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In bestseller Abbott's fast-paced, high-octane fifth thriller featuring ex-CIA operative Sam Capra (after 2014's The Inside Man), an unnamed prospective client offers master hit man Philip Judge $20 million to pull off "the most dangerous assassination in history" the murder of Russian president Dmitri Morozov on American soil. The job seems like an inevitable suicide mission, until Judge gets an idea from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar that would enable him to kill Morozov and live to enjoy the payday. Meanwhile, Sam desperately searches for his younger brother, Danny, who was supposedly murdered in the Hindu Kush six years earlier by a group calling itself the Brothers of the Mountain. Sam, who finds evidence that Danny's death was staged, turns for help to his former colleagues in the Round Table, "a secret alliance that... tried to be a force for good in the world." Abbott offers plenty of twists, though genre readers will find little that's new, and Sam isn't the most memorable series lead. Author tour.
