A stolen shipment of nuclear weapons, a reckless dictator on the warpath, and a kidnapped sister caught in the crossfire. Chris Collins is an ex-CIA agent with a history of rogue missions. After crossing the world to bring his enemies to justice, he is burned out and ready to step away. When a shipment of nuclear weapons is stolen during a violent coup at a Turkish air base, Chris decides to leave this one to his former agency. Until the situation turns personal. Pulled from a rare moment of peace in Rio de Janeiro with Tsu, a lethal foreign intelligence operative, Chris is forced back into the field. What follows is a brutal pursuit that drags him through the dangers of the Amazon jungle and into the heart of Africa, where a ruthless dictator now holds devastating nuclear power. Sahara Dawn delivers a relentless CIA thriller driven by international intrigue, high-risk missions, and mounting global danger. Ideal for readers who enjoy globe-spanning espionage, morally grey operatives, and stories that never ease off the pressure. ___________________________________________________________________Praise for the Chris Collins CIA Thriller Series: Globe-trotting adventure. Kept me from cooking and cleaning until I finished it. Very difficult to put down once you start reading. Twists and turns, tragedy, and global consequences. A believable story that could easily be in the headlines.
