Nerve-wracking, relentlessly suspenseful and emotionally gripping, Beyond Honor is a thrilling tale of espionage and deceit, brotherhood and family, politics and capitalism, and how far some will push the envelope to beat their adversaries. K.B. Brodsky delivers an enthralling, nail-biting tale that pays homage to the great spy novels of years past with a contemporary edge.
CIA analyst Whiney Skyler uncovers a financial conspiracy involving the Russians that has compromised an American real estate developer with a close friendship to the US President. CIA paramilitary operative Kevin Rhoads, reeling from the devastating results of a recent military operation, undertakes a dangerous solo mission deep into Siberia as the result of a CIA director leveraging Skyler’s intelligence to save an American agent from a Russian black site. Putting Skyler in a difficult spot of being unable to share vital information with Rhoads, a man she has come to love. And when Rhoads learns the truth, it sets off a mission of personal vengeance that disobeys direct orders and makes him a fugitive from the agency and country he served with distinction.
Beyond Honor is the merging of old school espionage novels with modern day military thrillers. Pitting US and Russian intelligence agencies against each other in ways that would make Jason Matthew’s Red Sparrow and Nelson DeMille’s The Charm School proud. And bringing the emotion and kinetic action of paramilitary operations that show the influence of Jack Carr’s The Terminal List and Mark Greaney’s Gray Man series. It keeps readers on their toes for most of the book by navigating between multiple threads to avoid predictability, before converging into a linear sprint to the finish with an almost certain outcome that leads to a cliffhanger finish, brilliantly keeping multiple possibilities available for the future of this nascent series.
If you love spy novels and military thrillers, this is a debut you can’t afford to miss. The beginning of a new series with excellently crafted characters, complex geopolitical and intelligence maneuvering, and explosive action.
