The SNAP Agency #0.5
by Natalie Walters
Initium is set mainly in 1998 with glimpses in time from 2013 to 2020. Why this jump in time, you ask. Well, this is the origin story of how SNAP came into existence and the various ways the team members who we see in action came together.
CIA Intel officer Tom Walsh is less than pleased when the CIA pulls out of Ireland leaving one of their own behind. Tom feels there is a better way to get the job done and not risk the lives of his people unnecessarily. Can such an endeavor be possible? Tom is determined to make it so and only the best people for the job will be on his team.
This is a prequel to Lights Out and can be read either before or after Initium. I read this after reading Lights Out and in some ways I liked that because I got to know the SNAP Agency the same way CIA analyst Brynn Taylor did.
This book is a novella so it is a quick and engaging read. I felt a connection with Tom as he made every effort to determine what happened to his friend and fellow operative Sean when he went missing after a bombing in Ireland. Was Sean the villain, a victim, or a convenient scapegoat for a mission gone wrong? Tom is going to find out even if he has to go it alone. I highly recommend this as a great breaktime read and the price is excellent and well worth it.
About the Book:
When an explosion rattled the cobblestone streets of Ireland in 1998, it left the CIA questioning one of their own, but Intel officer Tom Walsh refuses to believe his friend Sean is guilty. Tom is certain Sean wasn’t behind the misdirection of information that led to the deaths of dozens, but he’s missing and the CIA won’t go back to find him or the truth.
Unwilling to let Sean become a scapegoat for a botched mission, Tom quits the CIA and takes an unsanctioned contract job with the hopes of finding his friend and those responsible for the deadly attack. But when the new mission goes awry, Tom finds himself in a battle against an Irish dissident paramilitary group determined to strike again.
With only a hunch to go on and a red-headed bartender’s help, Tom puts himself in the path of danger and discovers his own passion for stepping in where the government can’t.
Get ready for Lights Out with this glimpse into the life of the man behind the SNAP Agency and what pushed him to find a better way to strategically protect and neutralize threats against America and her citizens. In this fast-paced novella you’ll meet Director Walsh as he assembles his team: Jack Hudson, Lyla Fox, Nicolás Garcia, and Kekoa Young.
