One Perfect Shot Will Change the Course of History
Christine Palmer, a young American doctor sailing solo across the Atlantic, makes an incredible discovery—a man narrowly clinging to his life in the frigid waters. But there is much more to this desperate survivor than meets the eye.
David Slaton is a Kidon—a highly-trained, highly-precise, and highly-dangerous assassin. The Kidon is both the hunter and the hunted, and he and Christine are in grave danger. Will they win in this race against time?
With the precision of a sharpshooter, author Ward Larsen weaves an intricate tale of espionage and intrigue.
The Bourne Identity meets The Day of the Jackal
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Larsen's competent debut has many of the right ingredients for a successful spy thriller: plenty of action, technical detail that would do Tom Clancy proud, and a hero with almost superhuman skills. When Christine Palmer, an American doctor sailing solo across the Atlantic, retrieves the almost lifeless body of David Slaton in the middle of the ocean, Slaton commandeers her small boat and demands she deliver him to England. A member of Kidon (Mossad's special assassination team), Slaton is the sole survivor of a ship that sank with a super-secret cargo-a pair of unaccounted for nuclear weapons. Double agents within Mossad want to kill Slaton before he uncovers their convoluted plot to use the weapons to undermine Israel's international support. Needless to say, they're soon after Palmer as well. What's missing is that no character, except for Palmer, has an inner life.

As this was the first novel by Ward Larsen I have read, I could not put it down and read the entire novel in two days! While it is a bit longer than most series novels, I have read, it was so well written, and the plot lines were so interestingly integrated I could not put it down. After I finished, I purchased the next 3 books and started Book #2 today! I highly recommend this series by Mr. Larsen, especially if you like authors, such as Jack Carr or Jack Mars.
The Perfect Assassin Ward Larsen
Christine Palmer, an American doctor rescues a man clinging onto some debris from a ship. She brings him on board her sailboat and is promptly turned into a hostage following his commands. Eventually she becomes aware of who and what he is, a kidon, a Mossad assassin. What ensues is a tale of deceit, treachery and ending in love. An excellent read!! My highest recommendation!!
