- Taken from the actual life story of a rogue agent
who was hunted by agencies around the world,
Targets of Deception (Variance Publishing) by
Jeffrey Stephens is filled with one action-packed
scene after another, giving the reader a glimpse
into a world of excitement and conspiracies beyond
their wildest imagination!
The author’s own vast knowledge of travel throughout
Europe is vibrantly reflected in this non-stop
thriller as his lead protagonist journeys from a
peaceful, upstate town in New York to sultry Miami,
and then on to Paris, culminating in a dramatic set
of circumstances in Portofino, Italy, reminding
readers that danger lurks even in the most idyllic
of places.
Jordan Sandor had already resigned his position with
the CIA before 9/11. After a series of shocking
events, he reluctantly gets drawn back into the game
and sets out on a search that takes him half way
across the world. Never sure who he can trust and
who may be his enemy, but knowing that the lives of
millions of people are at stake, Sandor is forced to
rely on his gut instincts as well as trained skills
as he risks his life to uncover an al-Qaeda
conspiracy about to launch nerve gas attacks on the
world! When Sandor finds out the rogue agent
behind the plot is his old mentor - he knows he is
the only man who can stop him and prevent the
catastrophe.
Understanding that men like Sandor really do put
their life on the line for freedom every day is
probably one of the reasons why Stephens’
donates substantial amounts of the book’s royalties
to Special Operations Warriors Foundation -
an organization that provides assistance to
surviving children of fallen Special Ops personnel.
