Cross Command (A Connor Cross...

Jack Mars

This recording has been digitally produced by Jack Mars, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. “Thriller writing at its best.”
--Midwest Book Review (Any Means Necessary)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

CROSS COMMAND (Book #3) is the third book in an electrifying new action thriller series from the #1 bestselling and USA Today bestselling author Jack Mars (with over 10,000 five-star reviews). The series begins with CROSS TARGET (Book #1).

Former Special Forces soldier Connor Cross rescues key individuals from the most dangerous places in the world, when the U.S. government needs it handled discreetly and unofficially. But when the missions become something much bigger, affecting the very world’s stability, Connor must wonder: is he a pawn in a much bigger game of chess?

In CROSS COMMAND (Book #3), when an extraction goes catastrophically wrong, Connor finds himself trapped, surrounded, and out of options in a capital descending into chaos. But not everything is as it appears — and getting out alive means going back in for one more try.

Connor Cross doesn't do simple missions — and neither does this series, where every operation unravels into something bigger, deadlier, and harder to walk away from. Explosive action, relentless pacing, and twists you won't see coming make this a series that demands to be read in one sitting. Perfect for fans of Vince Flynn, David Baldacci, and Michael Connelly.

Future books in the series are also available!

“Thriller enthusiasts who relish the precise execution of an international thriller, but who seek the psychological depth and believability of a protagonist who simultaneously fields professional and personal life challenges, will find this a gripping story that's hard to put down.”
--Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan (regarding Any Means Necessary)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“One of the best thrillers I have read this year. The plot is intelligent and will keep you hooked from the beginning. The author did a superb job creating a set of characters who are fully developed and very much enjoyable. I can hardly wait for the sequel.”
