Overview
A harmless questionnaire at a college seminar unexpectedly propels Austin O'Connor into the world of black ops. Ready or not, life as he knew it, no longer exists. Austin is thrust into a dangerous career with very little training or knowledge on how to navigate this new world. From to smuggling weapons amid the Afghan and Soviet War to a daring rescue in the middle of the Contras and Sandinistas conflict in Nicaragua, Austin continues to exceed expectations. In a short period of time, he manages to excel at all assignments placed on him by his superiors, and he has earned the name Dragon Slayer by his peers. Unbeknownst to Austin, he is a third generation operative, and now one of the C.I.A.'s top assets. His new mission sends him around the globe, risking his life to face deadly foes and his destiny. His job of constantly being in jeopardy could be the end of him, unless his inner demons kill him first. Austin is a fast study and a man who leaves his conscience and his identity at the door. The job comes first, the rest is irrelevant to him.
