Here is the text from the image: When America’s schools become the newest battlefield in a global intelligence war, one retired spy must confront his past to protect the future. Bill James once known only by his classified codename Umbra has spent years in quiet obscurity, far removed from the world of espionage and shadow operations. But when mounting concerns of foreign subversion in the U.S. education system reach the President’s desk, the intelligence community needs someone off the books and beyond suspicion. Someone like Umbra. Reluctantly pulled back into service, Bill embarks on a mission that takes him from his quiet home in SE Michigan to the heart of Beijing’s Ministry of State Security. Along the way, he uncovers a sweeping conspiracy aimed not at military dominance but at ideological takeover through cultural and educational manipulation. Torn between duty and family, haunted by betrayal, and fueled by patriotism, Umbra must rely on every skill he once thought buried to expose a plan decades in the making and fight a war no one sees coming. A masterful blend of spy thriller, political intrigue, and chilling realism, The Coin Collector is a timely, thought–provoking novel that challenges everything you think you know about power, truth, and the silent wars being waged in plain sight.
