Description
A car explodes along a quiet Prague side street—among the dead is an undercover Treadstone agent. It's not unusual for such men to meet their fates on an operation, but in this case there's one catch. None of his superiors know what he was doing there.
Two Blackbriar operatives, Helen Jouvert and Donovan Wade, are sent to investigate. Their search for answers will take them deeper into the world of conspiracy and fake news than they ever expected.
Treadstone and Blackbriar may be two sides of the same coin, intelligence and counterintelligence, but they have one thing in common, answers can be the deadliest commodity of all.

The Blackbriar Genesis is a marvelous addition to the new Ludlum-verse with intriguingly awesome guns-blazing protagonists that are sure to become one of your favorite duos.Simon Gervais has officially outdone himself with this superbly fleshed out narrative that walks the crisp line between hard-boiled espionage and adrenaline-pumping action. Gervais establishes each new face with a memorable selling point that makes you yearn for more of these exciting heroes.
The Blackbriar Genesis takes readers for a wild ride with two operatives, Helen Jouvert and Donovan Wade, investigating the assassination of a Treadstone operative who was working unbeknownst to his handlers. With a sinister conspiracy brewing by enigmatic faces hiding behind proxies, Jouvert and Wade must follow the trail of murderous breadcrumbs through backalley shootouts and high-speed car chases to uncover the mystery before their lives are forfeit.
The Blackbriar Genesis grabs your undivided attention from the very first spine-tingling page of gritty paranoia and propels you through fast-paced high-energy action-boosted chapters that will surely satisfy that itch you’re having for some hardcore espionage-action fusion. Keep your eyes peeled for references and callbacks to Jason Bourne and Adam Hayes as the shared universe grows bigger and better. Jouvert and Wade are fantastic additions to the roster, each with the charisma to make you feel for them and root for them in dire situations augmented by well-crafted dialogue and fascinating backstories.
The supreme suspense keeps you biting your nails bare way past your bedtime. The Blackbriar Genesis opens up a treasure trove of storylines that can be explored in the most-certainly guaranteed sequels, perhaps even a cool team-up.
