Descrizione dell’editore
A mysterious league of elite assassins targets ninety-six of the most powerful people in America, and Blaine McCracken must stop them before the murderers bring the country to its knees
There are ninety-six names on the list. They are those of businessmen, judges, and senators—the nation's wealthiest and most powerful. And they are all going to die. A man named Takahashi has hired the world's finest assassins to eliminate these men in secrecy and style, crossing names off the list without raising any suspicion. And they are killing ahead of schedule.
But someone has noticed the pattern of these seemingly unrelated deaths, and she knows enough to call Blaine McCracken. Takahashi didn't consider the rogue American agent, and that is a grave mistake. His carefully orchestrated vendetta is just the sort of thing that McCracken lives to upset. He has made a career teaching lessons to those who underestimate him, and Takahashi's league of assassins is next.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Jon Land including rare photos from the author's personal collection.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Land ( The Valhalla Testament ) launches a new cold war, this time with the Far East, in this fast-paced tale of revenge engineered by the Japanese heirs to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Secret agent Blaine McCracken is called upon to uncover why a former American research compound in the middle of the Amazon jungle has been destroyed and how it was connected to a diabolical plot to assassinate 96 prominent U.S. citizens. McCracken, along with his comrades Johnny Wareagle and Patty Hunsecker, encounter 13 robotlike ``disciples'' that are part of the Omicron Legion trained to viciously avenge the deaths of the Japanese when the atom bomb was dropped. Eventually he learns that what started out as a Japanese scheme to ruin the U.S. economy has turned into an even higher-stakes battle, complete with plans for widespread destruction through the meltdown of America's nuclear power plants. Mind control, robotics, kidnapping and gruesome murders are some of the complex games facing McCracken and his cohorts as they travel from the Amazon to Washington, Rio and Japan in this first-rate suspense thriller.
