"REPRISAL"
by: NICK MANION
Reprisal
is a factually accurate, hard-hitting thriller that details espionage at its highest
levels. The author spent 40 years working with Black Ops, and he delivers first-hand
insight rarely seen by the public. Other novels on espionage in recent years have
merely skimmed the surface of the subject, but this book blows it wide open. The
author believes it's time for average citizens to learn the truth behind the veil
and more about the brave men and women who risk their lives but never make the
front page. The
story begins in 1968 when the author's team is sent on a highly sensitive covert
mission in Southeast Laos. The mission is troubling and shocking; they must gather
information regarding allegations of treason within the CIA itself. And soon the
shock is magnified by the horror of seeing US POW's being tortured and killed
by the North and South Vietnamese while our own "bad boys" watched!

Pizarro Reviewer’s comments: “The author's style is
clever and creative (and) the story line is communicated effectively. Manuscript
starts strong and holds my interest throughout. He has molded an uplifting story
with an eclectic cast of characters and inspirational voice. There are strong
messages to be shared here. I think it will appeal to a large audience of mature
readers, both young and old, or of strong interest to a focused group. This is
an author who has done his homework. I’m interested to see what he comes up with
next."
