In the Digital Age of Espionage, An Old School Spymaster May Be America's Last Line of Defense

In the heat of the Cold War, John Bishop was the shadow that even shadows feared—the mastermind behind Bureau 61—the CIA's most clandestine operation. But when the fall of the Berlin Wall rendered his skill set obsolete, the agency discarded him like yesterday's intelligence brief.

After eight years of self-imposed exile in the wilds of Alaska, Bishop has made peace with his irrelevance in a world of satellites, algorithms, and digital surveillance. At sixty years old, he's a relic. A warrior without a war.

On September 8, 2001, a cryptic message from a long-dormant asset shatters his isolation: an attack on American soil is imminent. Before he can find out more, his source goes dark. Bishop faces a choice—leave it to the professionals or step once more into the shadows.

With nothing but his outdated talents and a network of contacts from another era, Bishop traverses the globe on a desperate mission. Each step forward reveals a plot more complex and devastating than he could have ever imagined.

As the old and new worlds of spy craft collide, can a man whose greatest victories were won in silence prevent a catastrophe that will echo throughout history?

If you devour the pulse-pounding espionage thrillers of Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum, Daniel Silva, Vince Flynn, and Brad Thor, then prepare to be captivated by Sam Cogley’s War on Terror thriller—THE LAST OPERATOR.
