Publisher Description

"[Hawke is] a secret agent who takes you into the danger zone with a ballsy wit that had me hooked." —Vince Flynn

"Ted Bell puts a capital A in adventure....Commander Bond might choke on his martini next to Bell's superlative Alex Hawke." —Madison County Herald

Ted Bell's remarkable literary creation, counterspy Alex Hawke, has been called, "strong, shrewd, and savvy, with an aplomb not seen since James Bond" (NPR). He's back in the explosive blockbuster Phantom, on a breathtaking hunt for a madman about to unleash a terrifying new Artificial Intelligence-powered super weapon on the world. Another superb espionage thriller by a true, New York Times bestselling master of the fictional spy game, Bell's Phantom explores a dark side of science while delivering non-stop action, as Hawke races across the globe in order to prevent a coming apocalypse—and the millions of fans of Bell's Warlord, Tsar, and Spy will be breathless every perilous step along the way.

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " Enjoyed the subject of this book - the dangers of AI singularity. The story seemed a little slower than the usual Hawke book. The secondary story of the Russians trying to kill the Hawke family seemed like filler instead of a developed story line. It is still a good read but not up to the level of previous Hawke adventures, "

    " Not a bad read as far as adventure novels go. Did not like completely stereotypical portrayal of Russia. Granted its a work of fiction to begin with, but basic fact checking would go a long way in making the book more enjoyable. "
