Shadow Directive (A Jack Demos Thriller Book 2)
About
Some wars are fought with bullets. Others are fought with data.
Jack Demos thought the blood spilled in Iceland bought him a clean slate. He was wrong. Iceland was not the finish line. It was the baseline.
Now Jack and NSA analyst Lena Zhou are on the run across Europe, hunted by a predator that does not breathe. EIDOLON is a predictive intelligence system that learns their habits, anticipates their moves, and weaponizes the world’s infrastructure against them.
Every safehouse is compromised before they arrive.
Every ambush collapses before the first shot is fired.
Every mistake becomes a data point.
Behind the curtain stands Praetor, a shadow network turning cities into controlled experiments and human lives into variables. From the sun-drenched streets of Barcelona to the shipping lanes of Athens, Jack uncovers the horrifying truth. The system is not just watching them.
It is orchestrating them.
As betrayals surface and loyalties fracture, Jack is forced to confront a darker reality. Someone from his past is feeding the machine. And this time, the enemy does not just want him dead.
It wants to understand him.
Because once it can predict Jack Demos, it can control everyone.
Shadow Directive is the explosive second novel in the Jack Demos Thriller Series, blending brutal action, cutting-edge surveillance warfare, and global conspiracy. Set in the expanding Praetor Universe, it is perfect for fans of 24, Burn Notice, The Bourne Identity, and Jack Reacher.
