Goodbye Paris by Mike Bond

Goodbye Paris by Mike Bond

For fans of Steve Berry, Daniel Silva and Ken Follett, a riveting, smart thriller.

Goodbye Paris is a window to today's France, its elegance and poverty, humanism and fanaticism, beauty and despair, the magic of the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame and the tragic fate awaiting them.

Special Forces veteran Pono Hawkins races to France when he learns that an ISIS terrorist he'd thought was dead has an Iranian backpack nuclear weapon and plans to destroy Paris. Pono was once Mustafa al-Boudienne's prisoner in Iraq, and is now the only one left alive to identify him.

Reaching Paris, Pono finds that his closest comrade has been kidnapped, and that the date to destroy the city is fast approaching. Joining forces with allies from US and French intelligence, and with a fearless and brilliant French agent, Anne Ronsard, Pono sets out against impossible odds to catch and kill Mustafa and his terrorist cell before they can destroy the most beautiful city on earth.

Based on the author's years of experience with terrorism and Middle East wars, and his deep knowledge of French and US intelligence and military operations, Goodbye Paris is a stunning thriller, an entrancing love story, and an exciting account of anti-terror operations from Paris and Morocco to Afghanistan.

Best-selling novelist, war and human rights correspondent, environmental activist, award-winning poet and international energy expert,
Mike Bond has lived and worked in many dangerous, remote and war-torn regions of the world.

His critically acclaimed novels depict the innate hunger of the human heart for good, the intense joys of love, the terror and fury of battle,
the sinister vagaries of politics and multinational corporations, and the magical beauty of the vanishing natural world.

His latest novel, SAVING PARADISE, the epic of a Hawaiian surfer and former Special Forces vet caught up in the murder of a beautiful
Honolulu reporter, has been called the eco-novel of the decade for its depiction of corporate and political corruption and the battle for
Hawaii's remaining paradises.

His four previous novels are all based on his experiences in far, dangerous corners of the world:

THE LAST SAVANNA: A former British commando battles elephant poachers who then kidnap the woman he loves, in this acclaimed inside
story of Africa's disappearing savannas, animals and freedoms.

CROSSFIRE: A British undercover agent fights for his life in Beirut at the height of the Lebanese War -- a deep look into the Middle East's
ancient wars and hatreds.

FIRE LIKE THE SUN: An international best-seller about U.S. nuclear warheads lost in the Himalayas, a manhunt through Nepal, Iran,
Greece, Algeria, France, Virginia and Colorado.

NIGHT OF THE JAGUAR: Vietnam vet and weed smuggler Joe Murphy loses his plane in a Guatemalan jungle attack, falls in love with
the woman guerrilla who heals him, and fights to protect them both as the death squads hunt them down.

Bond has published hundreds of articles on human rights, the environment, international finance, the energy industry, and women's
rights, and appears frequently on TV and radio to discuss these subjects.
