ONE MAN ALONE...

Robert Sito, an officer of the Polish Secret Service and an old friend of Stan's, needed to talk to Stan right away. He'd found incredible information regarding various intelligence agencies around the world. But Robert never had a chance to go into detail ... before he was killed.

THE FIFTH INTERNATIONALE?
Professional Reviews
Shady Characters, Twisting Plots
"If you like spy thrillers with shady characters, twisting plots that involve international conspiracies, and fascinating foreign locales, then you must read Jack King's The Fifth Internationale." The Beach Metro News
Incredible Ride
"King's debut novel is powerful, riveting and an incredible ride through the back passageways of international politics. Strong characters, believable (if incredible) plot lines and nonstop action almost make each page turn without the reader's help. King has entered the spy genre arena with some hefty ammunition of his own." Old Book Barn Gazette
