Reformed from his days of covert operations, Paul Janson has set a new mission for himself. Working in partnership with champion sharpshooter Jessica Kincaid, he rehabilitates disenchanted agents and helps them create new lives outside of the violent intelligence sector. These former operatives then form a network of support for Janson when it comes to his other job—Janson also takes on independent assignments. For a fee, he'll use his skills to resolve international crises but only those actions that he believes contribute to the greater good of all.

Whether he's rescuing an American doctor from Somali pirates, attacking militant thugs intent on murdering a West African public servant agitating for human rights, or hunting the moneylenders who capitalize on barbaric civil war, Janson stays honest with three simple rules: no torture, no civilian casualties, and no killing anyone who doesn't try to kill them.

Yet with his commitment to doing what is right while facing canny intelligence operatives, ruthless warlords, deep-sea marauders, or brutal dictators, Janson finds that his most difficult task is figuring out if he's fighting for the good side.

Scott Shepherd delivers a solid reading of the audio edition of Garrison’s latest thriller, this one picking up where the late Robert Ludlum’s The Janson Directive left off. Former Navy SEAL Paul Janson an ex-member of the shadowy covert group called Consular Operations, is working to rehabilitate burned-out agents and looking for personal redemption—while still taking on the occasional assignment and saving the world. Shepherd’s narration captures the spirit of the prose and effectively translates the author’s lightning-quick action sequences to audio. Additionally, Shepherd—who has narrated thrillers by the likes of James Patterson—transitions between dialogue and violent action smoothly, accelerating his words without losing any articulation, an essential skill for a book of this kind. A Grand Central hardcover.
