Paul Janson, an ex-Consular Operations assassin and a man of
deep convictions, had developed a new means to overcome his
guilt at the numbers of killings he had done in his previous
work life. He forms a highly specialized and selective
security business firm, Catpaws Associates, that only takes
on those cases that Paul feels are worthwhile from his
perspective and sets up Phoenix Foundation to help rescue
former operatives whose lives have spiraled out of control
and meaning when turfed out as expendables. When his first
rescue graduate and old colleague, Doug Case, a former
homeless bum, now President of Global Security for American
Synergy Corporation, calls and offers him five million to
rescue a doctor who was on a ship and captured by rebels off
of the African coast, Paul agrees to the assignment. Despite
the fact that they would need to infiltrate a remote jungle
rebel stronghold, Paul only wants Jessica Kincaid, a
topnotch champion sharpshooter, to go with him. In an
amazing rescue attempt, surprisingly marred by the
unexpected appearances of advanced military weaponry, some
things go as planned but others definitely do not. Reporting
back to ASC, Paul is intrigued by the fact that they just
want to pay him his fee, even if the mission wasn't fully
accomplished. Wanting to get to the bottom of things and to
find out what the hell is really going on, Paul takes on a
related contract. Do Paul and Jessica have what it takes to
survive in the murky and dank double crossing world of
global rogue oil organizations and third world political
battles and upheavals?
The character of Paul Janson was originally envisioned and
drafted in a partially written book, entitled The Jason
Directive by Robert Ludlum before his passing in 2001
and was published posthumously.
Further developing the character and the story, New York
Times bestselling author Paul Garrison carefully ensures the
continuation of Ludlum's concept of one key man and his team
against powerful forces who will stop at nothing to achieve
their desired goal while masterfully placing his own stamp
on the story by its contemporary setting and by his strong
knowledge of naval and military operations and equipment in
use today. Garrison is so vivid in describing his settings
and events moving in fast paced action from the high seas to
exotic and sophisticated locations that you almost feel you
are seeing it as real life or a movie while reading the
book. I also like that there is a good balancing done
between Paul Hanson, the protagonist, and Jessie Kincaid as
she is strong and intriguing character and ends up engaging
in adventures just as deadly as Janson. Equally engrossing
as a standalone book, both new and seasoned Ludlum and
Garrison fans are sure to find this a tough book to put down
until fully read! THE JANSON COMMAND is a thrilling read not
to be missed! Sure hope there will be more in the future!
Reformed from his days of as a covert operative and assassin
for the US government, Paul Janson has a new mission and a
new partner. Working independently with highly-skilled
sharpshooter Jessica Kincaid, Janson only takes operations
he believes contributes to the world's greater good. When
his latest job rescuing a doctor abducted in international
waters by African pirates goes haywire, Janson realizes he's
caught in the middle of something much bigger.
