Description
The New York Times bestseller from the author of The American. "A non-stop action thriller that never slows down . . . incredibly exhilarating." —Midwest Book Review
A weapon of catastrophic destruction. A nation on the brink of unspeakable disaster. And the ultimate enemy lies closer to home than anyone realizes.
Only maverick CIA agent Ryan Kealey sees the threat for what it really is—but Washington refuses to listen. With the lives of millions at stake, Kealey has only one option: to take matters into his own hands. And the clock is ticking . . .
Supercharged and fiercely intelligent, The Assassin is an action-packed international thriller where no one can be trusted—and the final aftershocks are felt until the very last page.
Praise for Andrew Britton's The American
"Brilliantly well-written with plotting sharper than a fence full of razor wire, a sizzling page-turner . . . even Washington insiders will be reading this thriller not once, but twice!" —Brad Thor, USA Today bestselling author
"A terrifying and gripping journey into the mind of a terrorist." —Stephen Frey, New York Times bestselling author
"Like Tom Clancy . . . a thriller that makes current terrorist threats all too real . . . highly recommended." —Library Journal (starred review)

February 26, 2007
Britton's second contemporary political thriller (after 2006's The American) sets up an alternate reality that may distract some readers from a decent if unremarkable plot centering on terrorist plans to attack the U.N. and leave clues pointing to the Iranian government. Dennis Hastert is Speaker of the House, and the American political leadership is debating whether to withdraw troops from Iraq, but the U.S. president is not George W. Bush but David Brenneman, who's facing a fierce re-election opponent in California governor Richard Fiske, who's clearly not Arnold Schwarzenegger. The characters, including Jack Ryan-clone Ryan Kealey, are cookie-cutter, and the action-from the discovery of a high-ranking mole to the obligatory under-fire romance-offers nothing new. Britton has a long way to go before he joins the front rank of thriller writers.
