Overview
"""We become important only because of our decisions,"" Katya Volkova advised him. What she meant by this, Iraqi-war veteran Paul Drake wasn't quite sure at first. In this fast-paced sequel to Against the Dusk, Paul confronts a dangerous world of shifting global power politics and illicit weapons deals. A cat and mouse game to ferret out Russian-backed arms dealer Bogan Zoidze leads Paul, Katya, and a cast of other memorable characters to war-torn Syria, the posh avenues of Paris, ancient Black Sea ports, and hidden island retreats in Malta and Sicily. Beneath the Purple Dusk is a thought-provoking, fast-paced contemporary thriller that confronts the reader with taut, vivid drama while also wrestling with some of the most relevant and pressing issues of our time. Brett Andrew Strange, a former CIA intelligence officer, crafts a compelling tale grounded in an intimate knowledge of intelligence tradecraft and the sobering geo-political realities driving today's new Cold War. The narrative's action-packed finale resonates long after the last page is turned."
