War of the Raven - Hardcover

Andrew Kaplan is the well-known author of two bestselling book series: "Scorpion" and "Homeland", including the runaway international phenomenon "Homeland: Carrie's Run", an original prequel novel official tie-in to the award-winning television series. A former journalist, war correspondent and businessman, he covered events around the world and served in both the U.S. Army and the Israeli Army. His books have sold millions of copies and have been translated into twenty languages. In addition to his two series, his standalone thrillers include the bestsellers "Hour of the Assassins", "Dragonfire" and the spy novel "War of the Raven", cited by the American Library Association as "One of the 100 Best Books ever written about World War Two". His film writing career includes the James Bond classic, "Goldeneye".  "Homeland: Saul's Game" is his latest novel in the hit "Homeland" series.

By the time readers get through the first several chapters of this exciting thriller set in 1939 Argentina, they will wonder how Kaplan ( Scorpion ) is going to keep up the pace. By that point, there are several violent killings, a brutal live-sex show, plus more personal and romantic couplings, a wild car chase through the streets of Buenos Aires and enough cryptic references to past events to fill a dozen espionage novels. But Kaplan has a trick up his sleeve; his tale of an American spy trying desperately to uncover a Nazi secret that may change the course of WW II is just one of the stories he has to tell. Deftly dropping back some 75 years he unfolds--in regular flashbacks--an account of the mysterious man who was a dominant force in Argentinean history and whose personal vendetta still influences events years after his death. This story, in fact, is the true heart of the novel. In the end, revenge for a decades-old injustice, rather than the colliding forces of a war-torn world, leads to the horrifying conclusion of this smashing, sexy and unforgettable read.
