The Dissonant (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781990251382)

Consider this fact:

When John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, senior KGB officials did not celebrate.
They didn't bring out the vodka, the caviar, or the cigars.
They didn't plot how to exploit the chaos.

They panicked.

Files were destroyed. Documents burned. Cables flew between Moscow and foreign embassies-not out of triumph, but fear.
Fear of escalation.
Fear of nuclear war.

Because even if they were not involved, one incontrovertible truth remained:
Soviet intelligence did have contingency plans for Kennedy's assassination. And for every major Western political leader-presidents, NATO generals, heads of state.

This book imagines what would happen if those plans were carried out-but in the modern world. A decapitation strike against the US and NATO.

The Dissonant 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 novel is the dazzling second installment in the jaw-dropping new series that's on track to break all records. From the mind of one of the most creative and versatile writers working in America today, it will surely go down as a classic of the spy thriller genre.

If you read 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 turn the last page, 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.
