"An action-packed military thriller for fans of Clancy, Thor, and Flynn, that will also appeal to lovers of political conspiracies and CIA counterterrorism missions." — Sublime Book Review He thought his war was over. The CIA disagreed. After a devastating crash ends his Marine Corps flying career, Duncan Hunter is quietly recruited into a highly classified Special Access Program—one so secret it officially doesn’t exist. His new mission: pilot a near-silent surveillance aircraft over cartel territory and gather intelligence no satellite or drone can capture. But the War on Drugs is only the surface. As Hunter is drawn deeper into the intelligence community’s shadow world, he begins to sense that the operation serves interests far beyond narcotics interdiction. Political agendas, covert alliances, and international power plays blur the line between patriotism and manipulation. And when events spiral beyond the original mission, Hunter finds himself navigating a battlefield with no uniforms, no rules, and no clear allies. To survive, he must rely on the instincts that once kept him alive in combat—discipline, precision, and the courage to act when hesitation means death. Special Access launches the Duncan Hunter Thriller series with a gripping blend of covert aviation, intelligence tradecraft, and ripped-from-the-headlines geopolitics. Perfect for readers of Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, and Mark Greaney. Approved by the CIA Publication Review Board.
