What readers are saying about SHADOW GAMES
★★★★★
“This book is another book following the exploits of Hugo Xavier. Like Revenge the previous Hugo Xavier novel it bursts across the starting line like an overpowered hot rod. Characters continue to be more defined as the plot demands. This book is full of action and danger which is delivered in a continuous stream of mayhem. I found it difficult to put down. I read it in two sessions devouring it like a starving castaway. I normally read sci-fi but the way this author writes will keep me searching for more of his work.”

Everything Hugo Xavier has built is about to be taken from him.
At home, his wife is losing her battle with cancer — and for the first time in his life, Hugo Xavier is powerless. No training, no tactics, no force of will can change what’s happening to Lita. All he can do is watch.
Then the Shadow Council strikes.
A devastating attack on Novus headquarters in Malmoe leaves operatives dead, Freya kidnapped, and the organization’s future hanging by a thread. The Swedish authorities deliver their ultimatum: relocate or shut down permanently. With assets frozen and allies gone silent, Hugo and what remains of his team are forced underground — operating cut off from every resource they’ve spent years building.
The Shadow Council has come for Novus before. But this assault is different. More precise. More personal. As Hugo begins to unravel what they’re truly after, one thing becomes terrifyingly clear — this was never just about destroying an organization.
This was always about destroying him.
Hunted, outgunned, and running out of time, Hugo Xavier does what he’s always done when everything is stripped away.
He fights back.
A weapon that doesn’t exist. An auction no one is meant to walk away from. And an enemy who finally knows where Hugo Xavier bleeds.
The first shot lands in Bogotá. Then London. Frankfurt. Stockholm. High-profile men drop in the middle of crowds — no alarms, no casings, no shooter on any camera. Because the weapon can’t be seen. A ghost gun, machined from composite, built to slip straight through every detector the world has ever raised.
The police call it a strange run of unrelated deaths. Novus knows better. This isn’t terror. It’s a product launch.
On encrypted forums an invitation begins to circulate: an auction, ten prototypes, four weeks out. Malaconda Villareal doesn’t own the weapon. He owns the game. And he’s built the entire bidding around a single name — Hugo Xavier.
No mandate, no backup, Hugo and the team go in under false identities. Twenty buyers. Twelve countries. An old warehouse at the water’s edge. And a truth Novus grasps one second too late: the weapons in the room are decoys. The real ones are already out of the country.
The auction isn’t the target.
The auction is the battlefield.
Hugo Xavier can’t feel pain. But Malaconda has stopped aiming for the body.
