وصف الناشر
New York Times bestselling author Ward Larsen's globe-trotting, hard-hitting assassin, David Slaton, returns for another breathless adventure, Assassin's Mark.
With the help of CIA operative David Slaton, America has shaken off a series of high-tech attacks. Then, just as the threat seems to have receded, the most brazen strike of all: Marine One is brought down in the heart of the capital. The president survives the crash, but is clinging to life by a thread.
Once again, Slaton gets the call. With limitless backing from the CIA, the agency’s most lethal assassin is dispatched halfway around the world. But as his mission nears completion, he finds himself targeted by a talented adversary, a ruthless young assassin who moves like a ghost, and whose motives are unclear.
What is clear is that Trident is not yet finished, and that there is a high-level traitor in the U.S. government. And the only way forward is to topple a conspiracy in the uppermost echelons of Washington.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Larsen's pulse-pounding ninth outing for David Slaton (following 2022's Assassin's Edge) sees the intelligence operative tracking down forces who've conspired to kill the American president. The U.S. has been rocked by a pair of back-to-back tragedies the press has dubbed "March Madness": first, an Air Force reconnaissance plane crashed in the Arctic, and then a Navy guided-missile destroyer sunk in the Black Sea. Though many believe Russia is behind both incidents, President Elayne Cleveland lacks concrete evidence to support that theory and justify retaliation. A short time later, terrorists launch an attack on Marine One, the helicopter transporting Cleveland from Andrews Air Force base to the White House; an AI-enhanced drone cripples the aircraft, crashing it and leaving Cleveland grievously injured. Her vice president, Lincoln Quarrels, assumes the role of acting president, and he asks Slaton to find out who was behind the assassination plot. Early signs point to Trident, a shadowy group specializing in high-tech weapons that Slaton has faced down before, but it seems they've tapped a new agent to do their dirty work—and she may have already infiltrated the highest levels of American government. What might be goofy is rendered plausible and thrilling in Larsen's hands, with action that rivals top-shelf Tom Clancy. This is brisk, high-quality entertainment.

Hated for this to end….best one by far….
Fun to read
Very exciting book! Couldn’t put it down! Thank you Mr. Larson.
Corruption within
Great read, once you get started you won’t want to stop. Brings into question what’s been going on for the last few years. And previous admins as well.
