Synopsis

"[Hawke is] a secret agent who takes you into the danger zone with a ballsy wit that had me hooked."
—Vince Flynn"Ted Bell puts a capital A in adventure....Commander Bond might choke on his martini next to Bell's superlative Alex Hawke."
—Madison County HeraldTed Bell's remarkable literary creation, counterspy Alex Hawke, has been called, "strong, shrewd, and savvy, with an aplomb not seen since James Bond" (NPR). He's back in the explosive blockbuster Phantom, on a breathtaking hunt for a madman about to unleash a terrifying new Artificial Intelligence-powered super weapon on the world. Another superb espionage thriller by a true, New York Times bestselling master of the fictional spy game, Bell's Phantom explores a dark side of science while delivering non-stop action, as Hawke races across the globe in order to prevent a coming apocalypse—and the millions of fans of Bell's Warlord, Tsar, and Spy will be breathless every perilous step along the way.

There are many things that I'm thankful my father has shared with me. An interest in politics, my love of sailing, and my love of the Hawke series, just to name a few. Ted Bell's newest book in the Hawke series, Phantom, is a fine addition that includes all of these things. The difficult balance in a......more
