Absence of Rules

To some people Mike Devon is a highly trained counter-terrorism operative. To others, he's little more than a Government-sanctioned assassin. Either way, Devon always takes the line of least resistance to get the job done - particularly when he's faced with two al-Qaeda leaders preparing to unleash a new terror campaign against America and its European allies.But Devon also has to deal with a sinister Russian oil billionaire, pulling the strings in a determined bid to return to the days of East-West conflict. Somehow, Devon must foil a plot to blow up the Eiffel Tower, and stop the assassination of some of the world's leading businessmen in a roller-coaster that becomes highly personal, and threatens the lives of the people he loves most.The stakes couldn't be higher.
