About this listen

Montana, USA
When Lance Spector quit the CIA, he swore he was out for good. One more government lie and he would go off the deep end. They could find someone else to do their dirty work. As far as he was concerned, Washington, Langley, the Pentagon could all go to hell.

Yekaterinburg, Russia
A secret Russian expedition returns with a devastating new pathogen, harvested from the frozen corpses of mammoths. It's the biological super weapon they've been looking for, an apocalypse-level pathogen, a virus more deadly than anything ever to come out of a Russian lab. Something that will stop NATO and the Americans in their tracks.
A Biological Chernobyl.

Washington DC, USA
A mysterious vial, sealed in a titanium case, arrives at CIA headquarters. They have no idea who sent it, but it comes with a note.
"I will only speak to Lance Spector."

The Asset by Saul Herzog is a stunning new thriller, a spectacular tour de force, a book that has single-handedly taken the publishing industry, and Hollywood rights departments, by storm. This dazzling debut kicks off the jaw-dropping new Lance Spector series, and sets the stage for a franchise that's on track to break all records. From the mind of one of the most creative and versatile writers working in America today, this book will go down as a classic of the spy thriller genre.

If you listen to only one book this year, this is it. Action, adventure, rebellion, provocative foreign agents, characters you can sink your teeth into. If you're looking for a new spy thriller series that will stay with you long after you listen to the last word, look no further.

Recommended for fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne, and Brad Thor's Scot Harvath.

I'm hooked!

What a great thriller. I truly appreciate this authors style. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. It takes a few chapters to get to know the characters but once you do you can put it down.

Realistic Story Line

The story is surely action packed. Based on real circumstances. The narrator makes the story very easy to distinguish the different characters. Truly a must read or audible listen, going directly to book 2.

Characters grab you

Herzog’s slow burn character development style gets you hooked on them before you know it. Story telling is top notch.

Overall entertaining. Enjoyed it

Liked the book a lot but just felt something was missing in the development of the character Lance Specter to not allow a true connection to him as a reader

Page turner!

This is a real page turner. One that will keep you wanting more. Thankfully there is a follow on book (The Russian) which I intend to get. Thank you Saul for your wonderful story telling and for your spirit

complex yet easy to follow

I liked that the hero and heroine had struggles along the way, that it wasn't so fantastic that they always saved the day.
