From its riveting start in the night skies of Afghanistan to its stunning end in the recent Paris terrorist attacks, Assassins is an insider's story of the last 30 years of war between Islam and the West. A US commando, a French woman doctor, a Russian major, a British female journalist, a top CIA operator, an Afghani woman, and a Taliban warlord fight for their lives and loves in the dangerous streets and lethal deserts of the Middle East.
Drop by parachute into the deadly mountains of Afghanistan, feel the passion of love when at any instant you both can die, experience the bone-chilling fear of an American agent in an Al Qaeda group, and of women who face death every day, fight door to door in the bloody cities of Iraq, know the terror of battle inside a Russian tank - it's all there, all real, in Assassins.
Did the Saudis finance 9/11? Did GW Bush let Osama bin Laden escape Afghanistan and then lie about Weapons of Mass Destruction so he could invade Iraq? Did Obama's decision to leave Iraq in 2011 lead to the rise of ISIS? It's all there, all real, in Assassins.
"Multiple thrillers and entrancing love stories, covert details of our present geopolitical tragedies and on the deepest duties of a military man toward those he commands, those he loves, and the nation he serves, Assassins is "an epic spy story." (Honolulu Star-Advertiser)
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"Assassins is a political thriller with an attitude. But who would expect less from Bond, an author whose books are never afraid to take on the tough issues of the day while directly pointing fingers at those who pull the strings from the shadows? Assassins packs one thrilling punch after the other. But equally important in making the novel an especially memorable one, are the numerous supporting characters… A first-rate thriller." - Book Chase
"An exhilarating spy novel that offers equal amounts of ingenuity and intrigue." - Kirkus (Featured Review)
"An epic spy story… Bond often writes with a staccato beat, in sentence fragments with the effect of bullet fire. His dialogue is sharp and his description of combat is tactical and detached, professional as a soldier's debriefing. Yet this terseness is rife with tension and feeling… A cohesive and compelling story of political intrigue, religious fanaticism, love, brotherhood and the ultimate pursuit of peace." - Honolulu Star-Advertiser
"Powerful, true to life, and explosive… The energy is palpable and the danger is real… A story that could be ripped right out of the headlines." - Just Reviews
"Mike Bond writes with an urgency few other authors have been able to maintain. Mailer was able to do it to some degree. Tom Wolfe and Hunter Thompson had their ears to the ground. But Mike Bond has assumed this mantle for the 21st century." - BookTrib
"Assassins can be terrifying, chilling and more, but it also will enlighten its readers… It's an eye-opener, a page-turner." - Culture Buzz
