White Jade (The PROJECT: Book One)
by Alex Lukeman
WHITE JADE spins a web of deceit and murder across the globe, against the backdrop of a deadly international power game.
Former Recon Marine Nick Carter is a man with a dark history of emotional and physical scars. He works for the PROJECT, a covert counter-terrorism unit reporting to the President. Selena Connor is a beautiful, strong and skilled linguist. When her wealthy uncle is murdered by someone looking for an ancient book about the elixir of immortality, she’s thrown into Nick’s dangerous world.
Nick is assigned to protect Selena and help her recover the missing text. It’s the beginning of a life and death adventure reaching from San Francisco to Beijing, from Washington to the hidden chambers of Tibet. Someone is determined to take over China and attack America–and Nick and Selena are right in the line of fire.
International intrigue, terrorist acts and the threat of nuclear war form the core of this fast-paced thriller, the first volume in a series featuring Nick, Selena and the PROJECT.
White Jade is an action/adventure thriller, plain and simple. A brutal murder and a missing two thousand year old book about the First Chinese Emperor sends Selena Connor to the PROJECT, a small, elite black ops unit that reports only to the President. There she meets Nick Carter, a former Recon Marine with a lot of bad memories.
What begins as a simple journey to recover the book turns into a series of life and death confrontations for Nick and Selena. The plot winds from Washington to California, to Beijing and the High Himalayas. Nick must confront his emotional resistance to getting close to Selena, while Selena has never been under fire or had people trying to kill her. It’s a steep learning curve for both of them.
At risk is America, China and the future of the world as we know it.
