Ruthless, lethal, and emotional, The Council will tug on your heartstrings while satisfying your thirst for bloodlust. Matthew Betley is back with a merciless thriller filled with unbridled violence and charged feelings.
The Council is a group of powerful Americans who influence events from the shadows, shaping the direction of the country. How do they do this? By recruiting skilled operators through emotional manipulation and visions of vengeance. Now, one member of the Council wants to expand globally and resorts to unsavory methods to influence the upcoming vote. But when one team of elite operators figures out the plan, they won’t stand by and let it happen. Kicking off a deadly chess match that pits apex predators against each other in a battle to the death with absolute global power hanging in the balance.
This is a Thriller with a capital T. Suspenseful, action-packed and bloody. Filled from start to finish with intelligent tactics, deadly weapons and adrenaline-soaked brutality. Which is awesome on its own. But the juxtaposition of viciousness with raw sentiment takes the story to another level. Featuring characters who showcase elite operational abilities on one page followed by learning about their devastating trauma on another. Bringing morality front and center and asking the question: what would you do if presented with the opportunity to get retribution against someone who brought you unimaginable pain?
Broken heroes, duplicitous power brokers, and psychopathic killers collide in a hurricane of combat and carnage. Making The Council an engaging, enraging and entertaining character-driven tale containing everything a thriller fan could want in a book.
