About this listen

Dan Kemp takes you along for a deep dive into a shadowy world of espionage, private military contractors, criminal organizations and government agencies where the good guys and bad guys are often one and the same.

If you had enough capacity for violence to seize a billion dollars from a powerful drug cartel, would you do it?

The Professor has problems, and not just what decades of soldiering did to his back and his knees. His boss just died, leaving him as CEO of the extremely discreet intelligence contractor Athenaeum, Incorporated. His old buddy the Operations Director is a highly skilled Army Ranger veteran but his finance chief is slightly unhinged and spends her money on highly inappropriate work outfits. The surviving old men on the Board of Directors are stuck in the 1970s. Running Athenaeum out of an old Cold War bunker and keeping their roster of experts together is expensive, but the government contracts are drying up or going to bigger, flashier corporate players.

Then an intercepted phone call puts them on the trail of a drug cartel’s shipping container of “maybe” a billion dollars in cash, so its command decision time.

  • Door Number One, ignore it. But… a billion dollars with a capital B.
  • Door Number Two, tell the Feds. But that might bring official notice to the shady intelligence gathering they have been paying Athenaeum for all these years.
  • Or open Door Number Three, which might get them all killed, or worse.

Pleasantly surprised, waiting for more!!!

Full disclaimer, I know the author. That said we haven’t seen each other since 2005ish when our unit was disbanded and our career paths diverged! I’m career Army enlisted and I’ve had a few friends become authors so I approach projects by friends and vets with some trepidation. Dan did not disappoint and rekindled my interest in the genre. Since serving in combat I have almost exclusively, red fantasy and sci-fi titles exclusively. I look forward to what Dan has in the future!

Do you like competence porn?

if you like what has often been derisively called "Competence Porn" by middle aged English professors with bad sex lives, who write bad novels about middle aged English professors who cheat on their wives with their hot students, then feel guilty about it, and have "moral struggles and reaweknings"... You're going to love this book.

The author knows what he's writing about, whether first hand, or directly from friends who know it firsthand. And he has the right kind of humor, and sense of style; to do that first and second hand knowledge and perspective on things, the right way.

Attention to detail is never lacking

The realism created by the writer keeps you engaged the entire book, I can’t wait for the sequel!
