Miles Jacob had it all.
At twenty-two, the University of Florida graduate inked an eighty- two million dollar contract along with several mega million en- dorsement deals. With the love of his life, Sydney Crain, by his side, he had an unbelievable rookie season – becoming the league’s Most Valuable Player Award and bringing his team, the New Eng- land Patriots, into the 2014 Super Bowl title game.
Then came the fall from Mount Olympus.
Miles’ electrifying game winning catch left him with a grade four concussion—stripping him of most of his memory. Desperately trying to start over again in Bos- ton, Miles becomes a student at Harvard University. But, leading an ordinary life becomes as much of a dream as getting back into the NFL. Recruited in the underworld of the NSA, Miles becomes an un- willing participant in a world of lies and deceit.
From international spying to assassinations, Miles has had enough. After refusing to com- plete his last mission before the World Banking Summit, he un-expectedly finds himself enemy number one with the U.S. Gov- ernment. He turns to Special Agent Jeff Armstrong for help. With no other choice, Miles finds himself biding time in prison to save his life.
After three years locked away, Miles returns to the outside world with unfinished business, and the NSA isn’t taking any chances. With information that only Miles knows, the NSA forc- es their hand. They kidnap the most important person in Miles’ world—Sydney Crain.
With Sydney Crain now in the hands of his enemies Miles is will- ing to do anything and use any means necessary to get her back.
This espionage sports thriller is faster than Chris Johnson in an NFL 40 yard dash.
Excerpt
Prologue:
Special Agent Jeff Armstrong now sat across an old red oak wooded table looking dead into the greyish hue eyes of Miles Jacob. The digital clock on the wall ticked off numbers that just seemed to blend in like crashing waves. Miles Jacob, mathematically knew it had been three hours and nineteen minutes - one… two, three, four and now five seconds previously to when Special Agent Armstrong placed him into cuffs that had possibly cost him his freedom for the rest of his life. It was the second Friday in January; in fact, it was Friday the thirteenth. Friday the thirteenth and the clock on the wall read three nineteen – Miles heard Special Agent Armstrong somewhere in the back of his mind, something about three hundred and nineteen months. Somewhere in his mind, he calculated that three hundred and nineteen months was a little more than twenty-six and a half years. Special Agent Armstrong’s voice sounded something like a Charlie Brown dialogue from one of his many typical schoolhouse scene…, “blah, blah, blah or wah-wok, wah-wok, wah-wok …” the noise you always heard when Charlie Brown held a conversation with his teacher. Miles was now facing life in prison, three hundred and nineteen months was just the minimum. Sitting in the home office of the Federal Bureau of Investigations in downtown Washington, D.C., Miles’ life was about to take a tremendous turn around.
