When the world’s deadliest operatives are after you, there’s only one rule: survive.
Nobody’s Hero by M.W. Craven introduces a thrilling and intense espionage story with a protagonist who is as unpredictable as the dangerous world he inhabits. Ben Koenig, a former U.S. Marshal turned independent intelligence operative, is tasked with preventing a deadly future foretold by a newly discovered protocol. But when a $5 million bounty is placed on his head, things quickly spiral into chaos.
Koenig isn’t like other men on the run. Thanks to a rare genetic condition, fear isn’t a part of his vocabulary, and neither is hesitation. When faced with four armed enemies, Koenig doesn’t hesitate, cutting them down with nothing but a sharpened credit card. His dark humor and quick wit make him a compelling antihero, especially as he faces off against a cast of colorful enemies. Unlike the iconic Jack Reacher, Koenig’s sardonic attitude and ruthless efficiency make him stand out as a fresh, unpredictable character in the action-thriller genre.
The plot kicks off with a violent double murder and abduction in London, orchestrated by a mysterious woman who Koenig once helped fake her death. Now, she holds critical secrets that could bring the world to its knees. As Koenig teams up with Jen Draper, an intelligence agent who can barely tolerate him, the action takes them across the globe, confronting corrupt cops, a lethal father-daughter hit team, military contractors, and the Russian crime syndicate that wants him dead for his past deeds.
Craven’s second Koenig novel is a razor-sharp, fast-paced thriller that keeps readers on their toes with unexpected twists and a satisfying conclusion. With its mix of clever storytelling and high-octane action, Nobody’s Hero will keep you turning pages until the very last, leaving you breathless for more. Fans of intense, old-school espionage thrillers with a modern twist won’t want to miss this one.
