New York Times bestselling author Kyle Mills rewrites the rules for thrillers with Fade—a novel ripped from today's headlines
Welcome to the new war on terror. A secret wing of Homeland Security is recruiting agents to work undercover in the Middle East, and the director wants his second-in-command, Matt Egan, to bring aboard an old friend, Salam Al Fayed—better known as Fade. He's perfect: An ex-Navy Seal and the son of immigrants, he speaks flawless Arabic. Trouble is, he's "retired"; he was wounded in the line of duty, and the government refused to pay for the risky surgery that could have helped him. Now he's walking around with a bullet lodged near his spine, and he's not too fond of anyone in the government—least of all, his ex-best friend Matt Egan, whom he blames for his present condition. Against Egan's wishes, the director tries to "persuade" Fade to join the team. But Fade is prepared to fight back at any cost. The chase is on—will Matt be able to find his friend-turned-fugitive before Fade can take the ultimate revenge? Fade is a remarkable, take-no-prisoners program from an unparalleled writer at the height of his talents.

This was my winner for the week. I cannot stress how this was such an unexpected surprise for me.
I am a kind of retroactive fan of Mr. Mills that has just occurred during the last few years. I found him when he took over from Vince Flynn for one of my all time favorite series, Mitch Rapp.
When I saw that he had a new book out this week (Fade In) It was then that I realized that this was the second book in the series. Those of you who know me know that I have this weird thing that I can not read a series out of order, or if I see that there is a book well into the series, I have to go and find Book 1 and start from the beginning before I can come back and read the new book - in this case, Book 2.
So, I went and found this first book - Fade.
Boy am I glad I did. I was so unbelievably impressed.
This book must have been one of the first books published by Mr. Mills as it was published in 2005 so we are looking at a 20 year span between books 1 and 2. Things have definitely changed in the Tier One game, but this book STILL was fantastic. There is a great storyline, fantastic characters and so much action that it kept me on the edge of my chair with butterflies in my stomach.
On thing I have to mention is that I did my normal thing of alternating between listening to the audio format and reading the ebook version. It took me WAY too long to realize that there was something off and BOY OH BOY was I surprised to realize that the audio version that I was listening to was an abridged version. That was the only option available from Audible and I was NOT happy when I learned that I was missing so much of the story. Holter Graham did a fine job with the narration, but I did honestly have many issues trying to figure out who was talking at certain parts. His portrayal of certain men's voices was really confusing as it sounded that these certain characters talking were women. It wasn't until I started reading the ebook that I realized that these certain characters were actually men. That I can honestly say is not something that usually happens.
Hopefully, if this new book is as successful as it should be, they can go back and record an unabridged version of this first book so fans can get the entire book. It is THAT good and definitely worth it.
And lastly....I REALLY liked Fade as a character, and ended up rooting for him and worrying about him. That was probably the thing that surprised me the most :)
This was my favorite surprise of the week!
