Summary

Seattle, 1994. Douglas Shea is a college student groomed to go into the family business. That family business is doing the dirty work for a faction of shadowy government operatives. As he is drawn into their world where noble, altruistic ideals are used to conceal crimes on a societal level, Doug discovers the dark reality behind official narratives.

When there is no plan to trust and Doug must choose his fate, will he meet an untimely end, like his father before him, or remain a pro with zero deaths?

To be honest I was a little put off at first by the recording quality of the narration. It sounded kind of like something that would have been done in a WW2-era submarine. But once I came to realise that the author recorded this on the sly, whilst serving time for various white collar crimes, I immediately came to appreciate it. It truly is wondrous what a dedicated man with a lot of outside help and a very well lubricated interior cavity, can achieve when he puts his mind (and behind) to it.
All jokes aside, the book was a highly entertaining journey through the eyes of a very young but well prepared novitiate intelligence operative. The chapter where Doug's grandfather is walking him through the operation of a new piece of equipment (Skorpion), had me nostalgic for a time, place and people that I never had the fortune to experience in my many years. Truly a testament to the author's ability to world build. I am greatly looking forward to reading With the Crusaders. I am sure it will be a banger.
10/10 Would consider engaging in a romantic relationship with a Filipino woman in the future.

Better than a hot enchilada with a morning brew.
