The unthinkable happens in the skies over Florida, when someone hijacks the CIA Director’s flight as he returns from his daughter’s wedding.
Michelle Reagan—code name Eden—and an elite team of US Navy SEALs are sent halfway around the world to rescue him. Their high-risk mission to rescue the director and his wife becomes a full-scale assault on a heavily fortified military base. If rescue becomes impossible, Eden will have to carry out the CIA’s best-kept secret: Directive One.
K.C. Finn of Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews says in a 5-star review: “Author Scott Shinberg presents an excellent addition to the action and military genres along the lines of those who enjoy Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum, and Andy McNab, but with a distinct twist in the central figure of a powerful and capable heroine. Michelle Reagan is a powerhouse of a woman who still retains a truly feminine narrative quality, without pandering to any particular trope of the genre. With this core strength, the novel takes shape in both the plot and the atmosphere around her. The elite soldiers and operatives of the team are well-drawn characters with realistic behavior and dialogue, which adds to the heart-in-mouth feel of the action, as though we are rooting for real people when we read about them. When this is coupled with the tense descriptive power of the action scenes, it results in a well-paced thriller not to be missed. Overall, Directive One is a highly recommended read for thriller and spy novel fans everywhere.”
EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a non-stop thrill ride with action galore, insights into covert action tradecraft, and descriptions of exotic locales around the globe so detailed you can smell them. Directive One is perfect for fans of Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum, Dean Koontz, Brad Meltzer, and Len Deighton.
BOOKS BY SCOTT SHINBERG:
The series has enjoyed some good movement thus far, and as of October 2021 is up to 4 books, with Books 5-6 planned and in the works for 2022. All the marketing programs will get kicked into high gear once the pandemic nonsense ends and the market gets back to at least close to normal. We have very high hopes for this series' success.
Holy shit, that crazy Irish bitch was right! Wendy Green thought gleefully as the young woman in the two-toned blue uniform of a Transportation Security Agency screener waved for her to step forward out of the machine. This really is easy money!
Wendy exited the full-body millimeter-wave X-ray scanner in the passenger screening area of Miami International Airport and turned to watch as Rhonda Williams squeezed her large frame into the device. While the post-9/11 security contrivance was tall, its front opening was clearly not built for people anywhere near the four-hundred pounds that Wendy, Rhonda, and their two traveling companions weighed.
Wendy gathered her new Michael Kors purse from the conveyor belt and unconsciously held her breath as she watched the scanner’s sensor arm whirl in its orbit around her best friend. Hope turned to joy as the light on the scanner’s display glowed green.
The machine didn’t find any of it on us. Amazing!
The stoic TSA agent gave the same weary come-on-out wave to Rhonda that she had been giving airline passengers for the previous nine years.
“Watch out, Las Vegas, here we come!” Rhonda said energetically to her traveling companion. Nothing sounded better to her at that moment than an all-expenses paid vacation to Sin City.
“First things first,” Wendy quietly said to her friend as they slipped their feet back into their sandals. “Once Monique gets through, let’s find that bathroom.”
