The Archer by Abigail Roux

 

Rocked to the core by traitors and spies, the Organization made an unprecedented move in bringing together six highly trained men to track down one rogue wolf: The Archer.

 

 There are three field agents: one at the top of his game, one hoping to retire, and another walking the line; a cold-blooded assassin who can use any weapon known to man; a demolitions expert who can’t resist the allure of fire; and a computer hacker with more tricks in his mouse than Houdini. This team is made up of the best of the best, and if it can’t succeed in this impossible mission, no one can. But no plan survives first contact with the enemy – especially when you can’t even find out who he is!

 

 Despite what a cluster the assignment is from the start, the six men try to get their act together to track down the rogue operative, and in the process they discover there’s more to life than the next assignment. Now it’s up to them to survive by working together and determining who the real traitor is: an unknown friend, a close-by enemy, or the Organization itself.   Read an excerpt.

The book I am writing about I recommend more than any other I have read so far.

The Archer by Abigail Roux.

With her writing partner Madeleine Urban, I first encountered her books Caught Running and Cut and Run. It is because of those books I decided to try this one. If you love mystery, intrigue, and personal conflict this is the book for you. Generally, I have a book figured out by the half way mark. I know who the good guys are and who are the villains that allows me to settle back for the ride. But you can not do that with this book. Every character has a story, that sounds so cliche, but in this case it is true. Truth is a commodity and we have to find out what is real and what is not.

Shawn (agent), Remy (agent), Thi (agent), Carl (assassin), Wally (demolition), and Nico (communications) are loners thrown together by the Organization to catch The Archer or are they? Trust is hard for them to give one another so that unexpected bonds that are formed between these men create the foundation of the story. Couples are created and crushed within the span of a few pages. When a betrayal happens within the group, it affects them more as it is a friend who commits it.

Because of the friendships that were created, I hope that there is a sequel. I don't see the others leaving anyone behind or forgiving a wrong done to them. Watching the controlled (?) chaos that would ensue would be a wild ride as each specialty could and can create major problems or even a coup. No matter how many scenarios I come up with I have to concede that it is a child trying to out think a master because for this suicide mission only Abigail can get them all out alive using every trick in her (their) arsenal.
