About this listen

Montana, USA
When Lance Spector quit the CIA, he swore he was out for good. One more government lie and he would go off the deep end. They could find someone else to do their dirty work. As far as he was concerned, Washington, Langley, the Pentagon could all go to hell.

Yekaterinburg, Russia
A secret Russian expedition returns with a devastating new pathogen, harvested from the frozen corpses of mammoths. It's the biological super weapon they've been looking for, an apocalypse-level pathogen, a virus more deadly than anything ever to come out of a Russian lab. Something that will stop NATO and the Americans in their tracks.
A Biological Chernobyl.

Washington DC, USA
A mysterious vial, sealed in a titanium case, arrives at CIA headquarters. They have no idea who sent it, but it comes with a note.
"I will only speak to Lance Spector."

The Asset by Saul Herzog is a stunning new thriller, a spectacular tour de force, a book that has single-handedly taken the publishing industry, and Hollywood rights departments, by storm. This dazzling debut kicks off the jaw-dropping new Lance Spector series, and sets the stage for a franchise that's on track to break all records. From the mind of one of the most creative and versatile writers working in America today, this book will go down as a classic of the spy thriller genre.

If you listen to only one book this year, this is it. Action, adventure, rebellion, provocative foreign agents, characters you can sink your teeth into. If you're looking for a new spy thriller series that will stay with you long after you listen to the last word, look no further.

Recommended for fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne, and Brad Thor's Scot Harvath.

I really enjoyed the nook and as a result have downloaded the second. Credible characters that cross paths in a well thought through itinerary. Excellent voice and interpretation.

Very well written

I read (listen to) A LOT of books, lots of crime thrillers, assassin type novels, just anything to keep my head busy. most are not of note, and I rarely leave a review. my heart was warmed by the authors note at the end of The Asset and I was encouraged to leave a review before I start with the next in the series. this book was brilliantly narrated, had a great storyline, pace and plot. I'm so happy to have found a decent series to get stuck in to. thank you Saul x

The second book was recommended by a friend so I started at the beginning and will continue to the second.

Good characters. Great narrator.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Plenty of alpha-male action and derring-do, but it is the pervading feeling of menace that grabs you.

Exciting with a big dose of realism
