  FROM FORMER GREEN BERET AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR JASON KASPER 
   
  When elite CIA operative David Rivers and his paramilitary team are dispatched to the heart of Africa, their mission is clear: eliminate the notorious terrorist warlord, Chijioke Mubenga, before he can unleash chaos upon the world. 
   
  But fate has other plans. 
   
  A streak of anti-aircraft fire lights up the night sky, turning a covert parachute jump into a nightmare descent. Stranded miles from their rendezvous point and deep within a hostile jungle, Rivers and his team are cut off, hunted, and desperate. 
   
  In their quest for survival, they uncover a web of treachery that extends far beyond the Congo’s borders. As they close in on Mubenga, Rivers uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to reshape the very fabric of global security. 
   
  In a land where trust is a luxury and every path holds potential danger, Rivers must navigate his team through a maze of betrayal, drawing on every ounce of his skill, leadership, and instinct to outwit an enemy that always seems two steps ahead. The hunt is on … but in the Congo, nothing is as it seems. 
   
  And the cost of failure is unimaginable.

  Some Service to the State

  The year is 1925. In the borderlands of a newly partitioned Ireland, a doctor new to Northern Ireland begins a search for a missing patient, a young girl who has fallen pregnant.
   
  Meeting a wall of silence, she enlists the help of a local, a former IRA volunteer recently released from jail. Their enquiry brings them into contact with a community still suffering from the wounds of civil war. More worrying for them, they find they are beginning to rattle skeletons
   that some powerful people would prefer went undisturbed.
   
  As they slowly begin to unravel the truth of the girl’s fate, they find that the traces they are following lead to some crimes more monstrous that they ever previously considered.
   
  
   
  “Some Service to the State is a superb book with dialogue that would not be out of place on the stage of the Abbey Theatre. Mick McAlinden is a former IRA man caught on the wrong side of the border and the wrong side of history: a law student who ends up working in an abattoir. Aidan McQuade has created a character whose travails highlight the thwarted dreams and the tragedy of partition for so many people in post-revolutionary Ireland.”
   
  - Ronan McGreevy, journalist and author of Great Hatred: the Assassination of Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson.
   
  “Like Graham Greene, Dennis Lehane, and Louise Penny before him, McQuade takes the humble crime story and uses it like a scalpel to probe and expose the darkness in human souls and human society.”
   
  - Martin W. Sandler, National Book Award-winning author and historian.
   
  “The sparring sparky dialogue is a delight and never fails to vivify the darkness. McQuade shows prodigious skill in shining a spotlight on the scandal of mother-and-baby homes and in brilliantly imbuing the past with his own potent blend of heart, soul and wit.”
   
  - Rosemary Jenkinson, multi-award winning playwright and author of Marching Season.

  Sophie saw her opportunity. She stood, charged across the room, and sat herself on Gabriel’s lap—before he could pick some other lucky contestant. She licked the side of his face and whispered in his ear. “I don’t mind a little choking. It’s nothing worse than I got at the ol’ foster home,” she grinned. “Still, I’d rather talk music.” You know what I want,” Gabriel leaned in close, a dirt smirk on his face. “I want to murder you and get away with it,” he winked. Sophie snorted. She didn’t believe it. She knew a lot of jokers, all-bark no-bite, prodding at their limits. Gabriel wasn’t really the wrong kind of guy. Sophie knew the wrong type—truly vicious and reprehensible. This strutting cock was just edgy. With a chuckle of her own, Sophie leaned in. “You know what I want,” she rubbed up against him. “I want a hundred thousand dollars and six months to spend it,” she smirked, satisfied with his jovial answer… 
  "As a bathroom reader, Metal is a perfect bit of literature...delightfully intriguing.” — Kyle A.
