The Janson Directive (By:Robert Ludlum)
One of the world’s greatest men has been kidnapped. Nobel laureate, international financier, and philanthropist Peter Novak a billionaire who has committed his life and fortune to fostering democracy around the world through his Liberty Foundation has been captured by the forces led by the near mythical terrorist known as The Caliph. Holding Novak in a near impenetrable fortress, The Caliph has refused to negotiate for his release, planning instead to brutally execute Novak in a matter of days. Running out of time and hope, Novak’s people turn to a man with a long history of defeating impossible odds: Paul Janson. For decades, Janson was an operative and assassin whose skills and exploits made him a legend in the notorious U.S. covert agency Consular Operatations. No longer able to live with the brutality, bloodshed, and personal loss that marked his career, Janson has retired from the field and nothing could lure him back. Nothing except Peter Novak, a man who once saved Janson’s life when everyone else was powerless to help. With the considerable resources of The Liberty Foundation at his disposal, Janson hastily assembles a crack extraction team, setting in motion an ingenious rescue operation. But the operation goes horribly wrong and Janson is marked for death, the target of a ‘beyond salvage’ order issued from the highest level of the government. Now he is running for his life, pursued by Jessica Kincaid, a young agent of astonishing ability who as a student of Janson’s own lethal arsenal of tactics and techniques can anticipate and counter his every move. To survive, Janson must outrace a conspiracy that has gone beyond the control of its originators. To win, he must counter it with a conspiracy of his own. With mere days, perhaps only hours, remaining, and shadowed by a secret that links Janson’s violent life with that of the visionary peacemaker Peter Novak, Janson’s only hope is to uncover the nearly unimaginable truth behind these events a truth that has the power to foment wars, topple governments, and change the very course of history.
The Janson Command
Paul Janson, a character first featured in Robert Ludlum’s bestselling novel The Janson Directive, has a new goal: save the world, one operative, one mission, one redemption at a time. Reformed from his days of covert operations, Paul Janson has set a new mission for himself. Working in partnership with champion sharpshooter Jessica Kincaid, he rehabilitates disenchanted agents and helps them create new lives outside of the violent intelligence sector. These former operatives then form a network of support for Janson when it comes to his other job Janson also takes on independent assignments. For a fee, he’ll use his skills to resolve international crises. But only those actions that he believes contribute to the greater good of all. Whether he’s rescuing an American doctor from Somalian pirates, attacking militant thugs intent on murdering a West African public servant agitating for human rights, or hunting the money lenders who capitalize on barbaric civil war, Janson stays honest with three simple rules: 1 No torture. 2 No civilian casualties. 3 No killing anyone who doesn’t try to kill them. Yet with his commitment to doing what is right while facing canny intelligence operatives, ruthless warlords, deep sea marauders, or brutal dictators Janson finds that his most difficult task is figuring out if he’s fighting for the good side.
