THE ECHELON VENDETTA is a terrific read and it hums along quick, so be ready for fast reading. The CIA has many different people working for them in a variety of positions. Micah Dalton is a spy, he’s not a intelligence gatherer, or an analyst. What Dalton does is come in after something has hit the fan. He’s a “cleaner” and it’s his job to keep things from getting to the public, basically erasing any trace of a job gone bad. Dalton’s role in his world changes when and old colleague and mentor is killed. Dalton can’t help but want to find out the truth behind his friend’s death. He uncovers a trail of murder victims with nothing in common except involvement in something known as Echelon. Stone has all the aspects of a classic thriller here and it is going to raise your heart rate. Great characters and perfect plotting make this a book you won’t want to miss.
