Assassin - Softcover

"Assassin" is the most highly imaginative thriller to come along in a long while. Ted Bell can really, really write.

Brian Haig

Fascinating characters, a hairpin plot, and wonderfully talented writing. "Assassin" is what you get when you pair a great story with a great writer.

Vince Flynn

An international political thriller of the highest order. Intrigue you can sink your teeth into and a secret agent who takes you into the danger zone with a ballsy wit that had me hooked.

"Booklist"

Hawke is the kind of character somebody really should put in a movie: he is smart, resourceful, attractive - everything we want in an action hero. Bell is a nimble writer, and fans of the first Hawke adventure won't want to miss this sequel. New readers will be enthralled and will immediately track down the first novel in the series.

"Publishers Weekly"

Expect numbers to grow with each new addition to the series.

"I love to read books from authors like Clancy, Ludlum, and Flynn. Ted Bell, the author of "Assassin", is in that league. His research is so amazing you'd swear the events in the book actually took place. And here's the scary part -- they could....If you're going to read just one suspenseful-thrilling-emotional roller coaster spy novel this summer, you've got to read "Assassin" by Ted Bell....Make sure you clear some reading time on your schedule...you will not be able to put "Assassin" down."
