It was supposed to be a simple training mission. But it didn’t turn out that way.
When Agents Archer and Fox undertake the field training for SpyCo’s newest recruit, they could never have imagined how wrong things could go. A familiar foe has come into view, bringing along a new and dangerous threat. With Burke and Perry temporarily out of action, reinforcements are not an option, leaving the … reinforcements are not an option, leaving the training team on their own against ever-mounting odds.
The action runs fast and fierce in this blazing new addition to the SpyCo thriller series. New dangers, higher stakes, more evil villains…and somebody won’t make it out alive.

Great cast of characters. Interesting plot. So good hard to put down.
The Spyco girls go on what was supposed to be a routine mission while the guys take a boating vacation … and then everything goes sideways in this mile a minute, edge of your seat adventure.
There’s plenty of action, a return appearance by an old enemy, a little romance and lots of dead bodies – pretty much what you’d expect from this bunch.
The story is well read although I did find the accents, particularly the villain, a bit over the top.
All in all, a good story and an enjoyable experience.
Assignment series:
Assignment: Athens #1 – A well written little spy story. Not in Ludlum’s league, but Hart does a good, simplistic job. The prologue starts the ball rolling with favors of Mr. Majestyk and The Mechanic, which made me laugh. While this isn’t my favorite story, I love the other books I’ve read from this author, especially the Serenity Series.
If you like Assignment: Athens, prepare to get your socks knocked off with Serenity. I am curious to see if the next book in the SpyCo series will be as well written as the Serenity, which by the way are all 5-star books. 4*
Assignment: Paris #2 – Another well written spy story from a good storyteller. The characters are believable, the fast paced plot twists and the humor rampant. Mr. Majestyk is replaced with James Bond, but the story still rocks. 5*
Assignment: Istanbul #3 – Another well written little spy story. The books in this series are getting better, as most good things do with age or practice, and the reader has a fast paced, suspense filled story laced with humor. I recommend reading the series from the beginning as the well developed characters pop in and out from various books. Plus, why not, they’re a fun way to spend a couple of hours. 5*
Assignment: Sydney #4 – Again, another well written, suspense filled novel that keeps the reader immersed in the story while having fun reading it, too. The characters are interesting and the plot is well thought out, plus there’s the signature humor found in this series and other Hart books. 5*
Assignment: Alaska #5 – These stories get better and better. A well written, action packed, humorous novel that keeps the reader in stitches while glued to the pages. Some of the characters have returned from previous stories and get more interesting. The well thought out plot and the return of Dot makes the intrigue rock. I noticed a new coauthor and can tell a difference with his contribution.
Update: I found the coauthor did not help write this book; it was written strictly by Mr. Hart. This is my favorite book of the series so far, including Dublin #6. The other books are missing him not being the only writer, but I understand his reason. 5*
Assignment Dublin #6 – Another well written little spy story. Dot appears again; she’s my favorite character. The gang’s off again with a new assignment, which if you read the other books, you know what to expect. A quick read done in a couple hours, good for relaxing. 4*
