Description
A Funeral in Paris. A Reckoning in Russia. An Endgame in Davos.
Former CIA analyst Kate Preacher has tracked the cabal that shattered her world across continents—but only now does she glimpse the true enemy behind the curtain. A new leader has stepped from the shadows to seize control of the Coalition—and a weapon that could reshape the balance of power forever.
"Sometimes," Jake warned her, "the only way to win is to sacrifice everything."
Kate's hunt races from the rain-soaked boulevards of Paris to Beslan, a Russian city haunted by unanswered questions—where memories she buried long ago surface with deadly force.
In New York, a trusted ally is killed. Another vanishes.High in the Swiss Alps, Kate undertakes her most dangerous mission yet— infiltrating the labyrinth beneath Davos—before world leaders walk blindly into a trap from which there may be no escape.
A bioweapon counts down to catastrophe. Her team is scattered and fighting to survive. And Kate is one move away from exposing the conspiracy that took everything from her—if she is willing to pay the ultimate price.
Defiant is the explosive finale to the Kate Preacher Origin Trilogy—a globe-spanning, high-stakes thriller for fans of Jack Carr, Gregg Hurwitz, and Mark Greaney.
This is where Kate's story comes full circle.
And where the final move changes everything.

About the Author
MICHAEL MALOOF is the author of the Kate Preacher Thriller Series-Relentless, Unstoppable, and Defiant-and a compelling voice in the world of globe-trotting thrillers. His novels are known for their global scope, emotional intensity, and hard-won authenticity, drawing readers into high-stakes worlds where intelligence, courage, and consequence collide.Born with an insatiable curiosity and a genetic case of wanderlust, Michael draws on a lifetime of real-world experience to craft international thrillers that blur the line between fiction and reality. His travels have taken him to more than forty countries across six continents-from dredging for gold in Honduras and hunting Mayan artifacts in Guatemala to acquiring uncut diamonds in Liberia and surviving an elephant charge in Kenya.His commitment to authenticity has also carried him deep into the jungles and swamps of Cameroon in pursuit of giant frogs, face-to-face with some of Africa's most venomous snakes, and alongside elite professionals whose worlds rarely make it onto the page. Among his most valued experiences are opportunities to train alongside Navy SEALs, Marine Raiders, Army Rangers, Green Berets, and the CIA-insights that infuse his writing with realism, respect for service, and tactical credibility.A serial entrepreneur, international adventurer, and unapologetic Starbucks Frappuccino addict, Michael Maloof does not simply write thrillers-he writes from a life shaped by challenge, risk, and discovery.
