The Year of the Locust
The Year of the Locust
The Year of the Locust, the instant top 3 bestseller, has been praised for its insider knowledge of the world of espionage. To quote the Telegraph, "Compare this with the thrillers written by Mr or Mrs Clinton, and you come away feeling that Hayes is the one who has more inside knowledge."
If, like Kane, you're a Denied Access Area spy for the CIA, then boundaries have no meaning. Your function is to go in, do whatever is required, and get out again—by whatever means necessary. You know when to run, when to hide—and when to shoot.
But some places don't play by the rules. Some places are too dangerous, even for a man of Kane's experience. The badlands where the borders of Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan meet are such places—a place where violence is the only way to survive.
Kane travels there to exfiltrate a man with vital information for the safety of the West. Instead, he meets an adversary who will take the world to the brink of extinction. A frightening, clever, vicious man with blood on his hands and vengeance in his heart...
