SPOTLIGHT: The Treadstone Resurrection by Joshua Hood @HoZ_Books @midaspr
The Treadstone Resurrection
by Joshua Hood
Working as a cabinet-maker in
rural Oregon, Adam thinks he has left Treadstone – the CIA Black Ops programme
– in the past, until he receives a mysterious email from a former colleague,
and soon after is attacked by an unknown hit team at his job site.
Operation Treadstone has nearly
ruined Adam Hayes. The top-secret CIA Black Ops programme trained him to be a
nearly invincible assassin, but it also cost him his family and any chance at a
normal life, which is why he was determined to get out. Everything changes when
he receives a mysterious email from a former colleague, and soon after is
attacked by an unknown hit team at his job site rural Oregon.
Adam must regain the skills that
Treadstone taught him – lightning reflexes and a cold conscience – in order to
discover who the would-be killers are, and why they have come after him now.
Are his pursuers enemies from a long-ago mission? Rival intelligence agents?
Or, perhaps, someone inside Treadstone? His search will unearth secrets in the
highest levels of government and pull him back into the shadowy world he worked
so hard to forget.
Coinciding with the much-anticipated return of the Treadstone series – released by Amazon in January 2020 in the UK – and with the 40th anniversary of the first Bourne book, The Treadstone Resurrection is the latest instalment of the franchise. Picking up the baton from Robert Ludlum, Joshua Hood is an author and former Airborne Division fighter, whose real-world experience and combat training makes him the perfect writer for The Treadstone Resurrection.
Robert
Ludlum (1927 – 2001) was the author of twenty-seven
novels, each one a New York Times bestseller. There are more than 225
million of his books in print, and they have been translated into 32 languages
in 50 countries. Among his best-sellers were The Scarlatti Inheritance
(1971), The Osterman Weekend (1972), The Matarese Circle (1979). He
is most famous for the Jason Bourne series – The Bourne Identity (1980),
The Bourne Supremacy (1986) and The Bourne Ultimatum (1990). The
series was adapted for TV in 1988, for a film featuring Matt Damon in the lead
role in 2002, and for a brand-new TV production from the writer behind Heroes
and Chicago Hope in January 2020.
