In his #1 fiction bestseller The Pieces of the Puzzle, Robert Stanek masterfully brought readers into a world of intrigue and espionage, a world where former intelligence analyst Scott Evers found himself in a desperate race against a mysterious machine that could control the world's financial markets, bringing ruin not unlike the great economic collapse that came into our reality a few years after the book was published. In Cards in the Deck, the exciting follow-up to The Pieces of the Puzzle, Robert Stanek brings readers into darker corners of the same world, where the most powerful intelligence organizations on earth, the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the United States Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean are about to go head to head with terrorists the likes of which the world has never seen. In the heart of the Mediterranean, Scott Evers is drawn into a harrowing world centered around one of history's most elite military warrior forces: the Navy SEALs. Facing a chilling, relentless adversary, Evers is pulled into a landscape of Navy strike groups, tactical response teams, and killers willing to do anything it takes to get the job done. Drawing from his past experiences as an analyst and operative, Evers races to find answers and decide whom to trust...before the world becomes a place we no longer recognize.
