"He who seeks vengeance must dig two graves: one for his enemy and one for himself."
Two men have arrived in London, dark harbingers of death to come. One of them is a terrorist, responsible for one of the most successful attacks against the West in the years since 9/11. The other, an assassin, come to take his life.
Fifteen years Harry Nichols spent as a CIA paramilitary operations officer. Fifteen long years of war, tracking America's enemies across the world. Hunting them down--killing them. Before they could strike. Until the Christmas Eve attacks on Las Vegas forced him to resign from the Agency. Attacks which killed hundreds of innocent Americans, claimed the life of the woman he had sworn to protect. The woman he loved.
Forced out into the cold, Nichols has found himself in the UK, operating without sanction, without law. A man without a country--come to London with a single purpose: kill the man responsible for the attacks in Vegas. Avenge her death.
No matter what it takes. What lines must be crossed. What faiths must be betrayed. There are no rules, not any more. Only vengeance.
His career with the CIA is over. His war. . .has only just begun.
"Embrace the Fire redefines 'ripped from the headlines'. . .original, complex, and unnervingly realistic." - Steven Konkoly, author of Black Flagged: Vektor
