From #1 bestselling and USA Today bestselling author Jack Mars, author of the critically acclaimed Luke Stone and Agent Zero series (with over 5,000 five-star reviews), comes an explosive new action-packed espionage series that takes readers on a wild ride across Europe, America, and the world.
 
Jacob Snow—elite soldier-turned-CIA agent, haunted by his tortured past—is one of the CIA’s greatest assets, and is dispatched when the stakes are highest. When an ancient Egyptian relic goes missing under mysterious circumstances, Jacob knows this is no run-of-the-mill robbery: the relic holds a secret—one that could destroy everything.
 
Jacob seeks out a mysterious and beautiful archeologist, whose brilliance is needed on the case. Together, they must partner to decode the archeological riddles and stop the terrorists before it is too late.
 
Yet as they race to recover the stolen artifact, they soon find themselves in the midst of a conspiracy bigger than anything they could have imagined—and time is quickly running out. 
 
An unputdownable action thriller with heart-pounding suspense and unforeseen twists, TARGET ONE is the debut novel in an exhilarating new series by a #1 bestselling author that will make you fall in love with a brand-new action hero—and keep you turning pages late into the night. Perfect for fans of Dan Brown, Daniel Silva and Jack Carr.

    This was a thoroughly enjoyable read that got better as it went on. I read it in two short evenings where it was the perfect level of engrossing to keep my attention away from personal stress.

    Although a tad redundant at times, I enjoyed the thriller. Not a cliffhanger, but I was hoping for a little more resolution between the two main characters. I guess I’ll have to read the next in the series. Found the use British spelling to be a bit confusing, for a books who’s central characters are American.
  • Garbage

    Jack Mars has delivered some of my favorite characters and series. This book is a sad comparison. Feels like it should be first three chapters in a proper book. To make it worse, it’s quite “putdownable” and produced , I assume, to whet your appetite for installments 2 & 3. Not for me; a seventh-grader could write a better book using the same formula. -I received a free advance copy asking for an honest review. I say don’t waste your time with this one.
  • Imminent catastrophe!

    Target One, the first offering in the new series from Jack Mars, grabs your interest from the first sentence in the prologue and keeps you on the edge of your seat until the final typed word! Jacob Snow, a CIA agent, and his former colleague’s daughter, Dr. Jana Peters, take us on a fast paced journey to thwart a terrorist plot at the Suez Canal. Another winner from Jack Mars! I can’t wait to read the second novel!!
