WORLD WITHOUT END
His codename is Angel Eyes. His genius: his ability to steal prototype weapons with unimaginable destructive powers, and leave no trace of their whereabouts. The weapons never appear on any black market. They're never used to wage a battle on U.S. soil. And they're never sold to foreign agents. It's as if they simply vanish. But a top-secret CIA operation is one step ahead of the game. They know Angel Eye's next target. A company in Texas has developed a military combat uniform that renders a solider nearly invisible. Optical camouflage would arm Angel Eyes with limitless possibilities—and no one knows better than CIA operative Steve Conway. But as Conway and his team set the trap for the elusive Angel Eyes, things go terribly wrong. When the trap disintegrates and Conway emerges as the sole survivor, he quickly realizes that in order to retrieve the most valuable weapon ever invented, he'll have to go one-on-one with the most dangerous man in the world. As Conway closes in on the true identity of the killer and his unfathomable motives, he begins to see that there are even darker forces at work. Forces that may emanate from within the CIA itself. Forces that want Conway dead.  Read an excerpt

INSPIRATION I happened to catch a show on the Discovery Channel about non-lethal weapons: stun guns, sticky foam, that sort of thing. Toward the end there was a mention of a military camouflage that could render people invisible. The idea for the book came together one day when I happened to be walking by the Holocaust Memorial here in Boston. I saw an old and sort of sickly man close his eyes and press his hand against the glass. I could have sworn that the man was smiling, and the idea for Amon Faust—and his plans for this military combat suit—came from there.
REVIEWS "An espionage thriller that rings alarmingly true, especially in depicting the ways technology can be perverted to deadly uses. Timely and thought-provoking." —Booklist "In Mooney's second nonstop action thriller... his imagination leaves nothing to be desired." —Publishers Weekly  |
