THE PARIS BETRAYAL - JAMES HANNIBAL

In Severance, award-winning author James R. Hannibal weaves a gripping tale of espionage, survival, and self-discovery. Following a harrowing mission in Rome where Ben Calix uncovered a deadly bioweapon, he returns to Paris only to find his meticulously structured life in disarray. A sudden sniper attack and a chaotic ambush signal that he is now a target, marked for termination by the very organization he once served.

As Ben navigates this treacherous landscape, he teams up with a woman caught in the whirlwind of his troubles, and together they embark on a perilous journey across Europe. Their mission is twofold: to track down the elusive sniper responsible for the attack and to reconnect with those from Ben’s past—the medic who saved his life, the schoolmaster who honed his skills, and a savvy hacker from his former team.

Yet, the stakes escalate as Ben grapples with his own vulnerabilities and the encroaching threat of a bioweapon that could devastate the world. As the Company’s plans unfold without him, he must confront not only the external dangers but also his internal struggles with feelings of insignificance and despair.

Hannibal’s masterful storytelling combines relentless action with deep character exploration, ensuring that readers are on the edge of their seats from start to finish. Severance is a thrilling ride filled with unexpected twists, making it a must-read for fans of suspense and intrigue.
