“We’re from the government and we’re here to help.” Duncan Stone didn’t pay much attention to that well-worn proverb till after he took the mission. Stone served his country as one of the Army’s best special operators in South Asia, and then as a retirement specialist for the Resolution Support Agency. Well hidden in the federal bureaucracy, RSA resolves problems—with extreme prejudice—for other federal agencies. They prosecute targets, like terrorists and drug lords, that conventional law enforcement can’t. Stone retires—kills—bad guys. He was one of the best, successfully executing dozens of missions till one day something goes wrong. That was the last mission he worked until his boss calls to say he has an op, coded GreenSeed, that’s perfect for Stone. With little hesitation, he rejoins the team that was more family to him than anybody else and dives back in to the only thing he was ever good at. But his mission veers out of control when he finds he’s actually covering up human genetic experiments gone badly wrong. Stone has only hours to find out who’s calling the shots and why a government secret just made him and everybody he knows expendable. "Benz is sharp observer of both character and place. The conspiracy at the heart of the novel is exciting and unique, with a high body count, and the action scenes are particularly well-drawn. Overall, the book works for the strength of Stone, and the intricacies of the conspiracy, blowing the lid off of government corruption in a realistic way. The GreenSeed Conspiracy is a multi-faceted conspiracy thriller with a gruff but likable action hero at the center." SPR - May, 2016 The GreenSeed Conspiracy is about one man's battle against a powerful government that covers up its secrets at the expense of its citizens...something for us all to consider in this 2016 election year.
