Live to See Tomorrow: A Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Irs Johansen comes Live to See Tomorrow, a thriller featuring CIA agent Catherine Ling
Catherine Ling is one of the CIA's most prized operatives. Raised on the unforgiving streets of Hong Kong, she was pulled into the agency at the age of fourteen, already having accumulated more insight and secrets than the most seasoned professionals in her world. If life has taught her anything, it is not to get attached, but there are two exceptions to that rule: her son Luke and her mentor Hu Chang.
When Luke was kidnapped at the age of two, it nearly broke her. Now, nine years later, her son has astonishingly been returned to her and Catherine vows never to fail him again. But when her job pulls her away from home, she relies on the brilliant and deadly Hu Chang to safeguard Luke in her absence. Erin Sullivan, an American journalist with mysterious ties to Hu Chang, has been kidnapped in Tibet. If Catherine doesn't agree to spearhead the CIA rescue mission, she knows that Hu Chang himself will go, a possibility she can't risk. But she will be facing a monster whose crimes stretch back forty years, always eluding the CIA.
The job grows even more complicated when Catherine meets Richard Cameron, a supposed ally who's clearly not telling all he knows. Their attraction is immediate, but Catherine isn't at all sure that he can be trusted. If she's going to rescue this journalist with a story worth killing for, she'll need to keep Cameron very close. From the treacherous landscape of the Himalayas to the twisting back alleys of San Francisco, the clock is ticking for Catherine and those she loves most. At every turn she faces a ruthless enemy who is determined to keep the truth buried, even if it means that none of them live to see tomorrow, in this New York Times bestselling novel from Iris Johansen.

A female CIA superagent must protect her son, rescue a humanitarian journalist and defeat a shadowy crime kingpin. In this latest thriller from best-selling author Johansen (Silencing Eve, 2013, etc.), we're introduced to elite CIA operator Catherine Ling. Initially recruited as a teenager living on the streets of Hong Kong and a veteran of countless covert operations, Catherine is now just hoping to spend quality time with her rapidly maturing son, Luke. However, when her mentor, Hu Chang, is tapped for the job of rescuing a kidnapped journalist from a Tibetan mountain fortress, Catherine shifts from mother back to superspy. During the rescue attempt, Catherine begins a telepathic dialogue with the mysterious "Guardian," Richard Cameron. Their relationship fluctuates between an unusual series of extrasensory exchanges and a roller-coaster ride of sexual escapades. At the same time their affair is developing, Catherine and Cameron must match wits against a mysterious underworld boss who has his hands in every type of evil and will stop at nothing to grasp at power. In this story, that power takes the form of access to an unknown Shangri-La-type destination, whose location (and very existence) appears to be protected by Cameron. Along the way, the reader is treated to gratuitous action sequences (gunfights, explosions and "karate" showdowns) with dubious believability. Short on narrative details and high on lust, it seems that the novel's primary concern is building the sexual tension between its primary protagonists, only to leave the characters unsure of themselves once they are in each other's arms. High on action and sensuality but with questionable plausibility.COPYRIGHT(2014) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Johansen returns to her Catherine Ling series (What Doesn't Kill You, 2012) as the Hong Kong street urchin turned stealth CIA operative is recruited, in spite of her reluctance, to rescue renowned journalist Erin Sullivan. Sullivan is being held captive at an abandoned Tibetan monastery by Kadmus, a sadistic megalomaniac who believes she is the link to the fabled lost Eden of Shambala. Though Ling wants nothing more than to spend precious time with her 11-year-old son, Luke, Ling's mentor and protector, Hu Chang, persuades her to accept the assignment. Things, of course, don't go according to plan, and Ling is teamed with the enigmatic Richard Cameron, whose supernatural powers of mental telepathy are manifested in mind games that leave Ling in his thrall and her son in mortal danger. Although the battle for ultimate control over the idyllic mountain kingdom rages between Kadmus and Cameron, Ling's world, also, is threatened in intensely intimate ways. In a genre laden with macho, action-hero figures, Johansen's shrewd and steely female operative is as tough as they come. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Best-selling Johansen's voracious fans will be happy to have a new Ling story after the conclusion of the author's enormously popular Eve Duncan series, and this new thriller will be strongly promoted on all platforms.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
