How far would you go to fight an engineered virus with the potential to kill millions?

New to the bestselling Sabel Security series? Start here, the book that brings together athlete Pia Sabel, legendary veteran Jacob Stearne, and unemployed god Mercury.

Pia tries to fund a school deep in Borneo's jungles, but stumbles into a clinical death camp where one of her closest friends contracts the disease. Jacob has just reached a comfort level in his life with a new house, a puppy, and a possibly serious girlfriend. But then the unstable voice in his head returns, complicating his mental health as much as his mission.

With a mole in their ranks, Jacob and Pia face the highest stakes of their lives. Racing from Malaysia to America to China, their attempt to unravel the mystery is thwarted when someone kills off all their prime suspects leaving them to wonder who masterminded the horrific plan?

Praise for Seeley James

A fine thriller with intriguing locations, intricate plot twists and a complex heroine. - Kirkus Reviews

I loved the character of Pia Sabel - there's a girl Charlie Fox would team up with any day -- Zoe Sharp, author of the Charlie Fox novels

Seeley James has created a protagonist that is strong and yet conflicted. -- PJReviewofBooks.com

I fell in love with the characters and can't get enough of them ... I felt every ounce of rage and desperation. -- CarolAnn Review

An excellent fast moving action thriller -- Eric Crown, Founder of F500 company, Insight Enterprises

Once I started reading, it was hard to put down. Can't wait for the next adventure -- Robert Manning, Amazon

"PTSD sufferer Jacob Stearne and his mythical Roman god Mercury take the reader on a fierce, unforgettable adventure." --Bill K. Yucatan Review

Interview with Seeley James from DigiWriting.com

DW: Do readers really compare Pia and Jacob to other literary heroes and heroines?

SJ: I've heard Pia Sabel compared to Jack Reacher many times because she's a straight-forward, no-nonsense heroine who beats the crap out of people. Recently, I've heard Jacob Stearne in the same breath as Stephanie Plum because of his whacky lifestyle and romantic problems. It's appropriate because he's our comic-relief character.

DW: What is your favorite book of all time? How has it influenced you and your writing?

I don't have just one. One Shot by Lee Child, because it has such an intricate set of clues, ranks right up there with First Drop by Zoe Sharp, because she nailed the teenagers with incredible insight and humor.

DW: Did you always want to be a writer or did you fall into the profession?

I was nineteen and single when I adopted a three-year-old girl and raised her (More about that on my site, http: //seeleyjames.com/about/ ). Kids need a lot of money and attention, so I worked in the upwardly mobile tech industry. Later in life, my career afforded me the ability to take a huge risk.

DW: Which authors have had a profound impact on your writing?

SJ: Gillian Flynn because she thinks way outside the Agatha Christie formula. Janet Evanovich because her books are just plain fun. J. D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts) has some phenomenal writing techniques. Daniel Silva, Harlan Coben, Russell Blake, John Sandford, James Rollins, A. G. Riddle, Lance Charnes, the list just goes on and on...

Alex and her monsters
Format: Kindle
A somewhat intriguing story that did drag a little despite giving us some world building. The explanations just took too long even if we don’t get the full picture yet. I will say the story does have some humor and is very hot. I may pick up the second book at some point.

Interesting Monster Academy
Format: Kindle
Alexandra is tired of being alone, using writing to escape from her reality. But when her monster protectors in her writing come to life, her life is going to become a little more exciting than she ever anticipated. This was a fun take on an academy romance. We have two different realities, one for the real world and one for the supernatural world. I loved the Dark Imaginarium Academy and the intrigue it held throughout the story. The plot was fun and the characters were written beautifully. Alexandra, Elwin, Kylo and Lucien were great characters and have the best out of every relationship dynamic. My heart does belong to Lucien, because who doesn't love a murderous psycho willing to kill anyone who hurts you? I wish there was a little more intrigue to the plot itself. The story was fun to read and well written, but it's still a straightforward Academy romance. I would've liked to see something that made the story really stand out more.

Intriguing
Format: Kindle
Very interesting world set up! I'm liking the characters more and more as we get to know them as well. At first I found it difficult to remember what powers each of the 3 monsters have, but the author does a great job of working it into the story to help the reader remember and eventually tell who is who much easier. Seems like a great start to a series. I can't wait to see where everything is heading.
