The Janson Option | Robert Ludlum | kharidobechobooks

he Janson Option follows former covert operations legend Paul Janson (historically nicknamed "The Machine") and his partner, deadly sharpshooter Jessica Kincaid. Sickened by state-sanctioned assassinations, they now operate as private security consultants, accepting only independent missions that serve the greater good. [1]

The stakes escalate when Kingsman Helms, a powerful executive at the American Synergy Corporation (ASC), begs Janson to rescue his wife, Allegra, from Somali pirates. Janson and Kincaid accept, viewing the rescue as a perfect opportunity to infiltrate ASC and stop the mega-corporation from subverting oil-rich East African nations into corporate subsidiaries. Once on the ground in anarchic Somalia, however, they realize the pirates are the least of their worries. Caught in a bewildering storm of corporate plots and political counterplots, the duo must fight to survive an entire region descending into violent chaos.
