Gideon’s Sword（ISBN=） 英文原版

“A rollicking tour-de-force. The eponymous Gideon Crew would be
equally comfortable smack in a Ludlum tempest or striding onto the
set of the Ocean’s Eleven franchise. Preston and Child have crafted
an electrifying, riveting thriller on which I could continue to
heap praise, but instead I will just offer this: Read the book! And
we can all look forward to the next appearance of Mr. Gideon Crew
in the not-so-distant future.” (David Baldacci on Gideon’s
Sword )

“Fast-paced and action-packed, Gideon’s Sword is a clever,
high velocity read.” (Kathy Reichs on Gideon’s
Sword )

“When you read Preston and Child you know you’re in for a thrill
ride and that’s exactly what Gideon’s Sword delivers. They
are the antidote for boredom. Hold on tight and let her rip; this
ride is worth every penny.” (Ted Dekker on Gideon’s
Sword )

Introducing Gideon Crew: trickster, prodigy, master
thief

GIDEON’S SWORD

At twelve, Gideon Crew witnessed his father, a world-class
mathematician, accused of treason and gunned down.

At twenty-four, summoned to his dying mother’s bedside, Gideon
learned the truth: His father was framed and deliberately
slaughtered. With her last breath, she begged her son to avenge
him.

Now, with a new purpose in his life, Gideon crafts a one-time
mission of vengeance, aimed at the perpetrator of his father’s
destruction. His plan is meticulous, spectacular, and
successful.

But from the shadows, someone is watching. A very powerful someone,
who is impressed by Gideon’s special skills. Someone who has need
of just such a renegade.

For Gideon, this operation may be only the beginning . . .
