From the outset, Assassins by Mike Bond establishes a tense, high-stakes atmosphere shaped by secrecy, shifting alliances, and long memory. The story follows an intelligence operative whose past missions continue to surface, revealing connections that refuse to remain buried.
Jack’s career as a CIA operative unfolds across decades of covert conflict, where yesterday’s strategies quietly shape today’s violence. Early humanitarian cover leads to deep personal bonds that follow him into later intelligence work, blurring the line between duty and accountability.
As terrorist attacks and retaliatory operations redefine global priorities, Jack finds himself confronting militants shaped by past intelligence strategies—some of them his own. Relationships, loyalties, and regrets accumulate as each mission builds on the last. Assassins presents a sustained portrait of covert warfare, where moral certainty is elusive and no decision ever truly ends.
