The Dartmoor Extraction
(2026)(The ninth book in the Aegis Affair series)
A novel by Clive Carter and Rod Taylor
In the shadows of the English countryside, secrets are buried deeper than the roots of the moor. Gethin Vaughan—spy, killer, and instrument of the Aegis Directive—has gone dark. His latest assignment should have been routine: eliminate a journalist deemed a threat to national security. But Margaret "Maggie" Whitmore isn’t a terrorist. She’s a truth-teller—and she knows too much.
As the Directive sends its deadliest assets to clean up the failure, Gethin's former ally Royce is tasked with a quiet kill that quickly becomes anything but. Maggie becomes the lightning rod for everything the agency wants silenced—political blackmail, illegal renditions, and a hidden lattice of control reaching from Dartmoor to Argentina.
From London’s tunnels to abandoned cold storage depots and encrypted radio relays buried under farmland, Gethin’s world unravels as loyalties fracture and the line between truth and agenda vanishes.
Because this time, the mission isn’t about containment. It’s about erasure.
And the only thing more dangerous than a man who follows orders… is one who doesn’t.
