At age 34, Adam Whistler wants out. But the service he performed for his government is not the kind they let you walk away from. To ensure his continued good health, Whistler has "borrowed" important documents from his boss, Felix Aubrey, a dangerous "rogue" and a very bad man to cross. But so is Adam Whistler, who learned the killing craft well under the tutelage of his father. Now, with a ticking bomb in his hands, Whistler has been cast into a maelstrom of death and chaos. His continued existence may well depend upon a group of retired assassins once linked to the legendary Paul Bannerman, as well as a special "guardian angel." For his gentle and beautiful Claudia--who barely survived an assassination attempt by Aubrey's hired guns--has returned to consciousness changed in extraordinary ways. And now she's much more than Whistler's soulmate--she's a fellow soldier.

Excellent thriller with some unique twists and surprises. Great characters and a fine story line reminiscent of the Cold War thrillers of the 70's and 80's, I thought.
