Ghost Soldiers

A bomb detonates at a peace rally in Rome.

A young Russian dissident is nearly killed. Calling for revolution, she's determined to continue a high-profile train tour of Europe's capital cities. That makes her more than a thorn in the Kremlin's side, it makes her a target.

Interpol hunts the rogue terrorist cell. Vince Carver focuses on the girl.

As a private security specialist, protection is what he does. But the CIA's not the only hard target service going after her. The Cold War may be over, but Russian unconventional warfare is more sophisticated than ever. Its secret operatives orchestrate a series of bombings that threaten the security of Europe.

When soldiers don't wear uniforms, they become ghosts.

Not only must Carver face shadowy assassins without state affiliation, he has to do it while babysitting their top target. And when their train's final destination leaves him deep behind enemy lines, cut off from support, Carver's only way out is to become a ghost himself.

Ghost Soldiers by Matt Sloane is a tour de force packed with intrigue, spycraft, and blistering action. From a waffle bistro in Berlin to an opera house in Kyiv and a stunning showdown on a superyacht in the Black Sea, this thriller is a runaway train towards all-out war.

Recommended for fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, and Brad Thor's Scot Harvath.
