"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

內容簡介: |
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 . . .
