“Neil Russell has to be one of the finest, skilled and accomplished writers in the country, a true master of intrigue.”
—Clive Cussler
Rail Black has arrived…with a vengeance! A new series character who is part James Bond and part Bruce “Batman” Wayne, ex-Delta Force commando Black is the star of City of War—an electrifying thriller by veteran Hollywood executive (Paramount, Columbia, MGM/UA, Carolco Pictures) turned novelist Neil Russell. Spellbinding nonstop fictional action with a startling nonfiction base—called “utterly gripping” by New York Times bestselling author of The Last Spymaster, Gayle Lynds—City of War marks the debut of a true master of suspense…and of an exceptional protagonist destined to become one of the greats.
His enemies are the most dangerous people in the world. So are his friends . . .
The sole heir to a media empire, Rail Black is larger than life, richer than almost anyone, and living in opulent seclusion in Beverly Hills. His "curse" is a need for excitement coupled with an oversized sense of justice, which impelled him into Delta Force. Now he helps people without options—and billionaires play by different rules.
Caught in gridlock on the world's busiest freeway, Rail comes to the rescue of a naked woman escaping from a van. But Kimberly York is no ordinary victim, and Rail has invited violence into his life . . . again—as a sudden, shocking murder pulls him into a decades-old international conspiracy of greed, rare treasures, and human depravity. But no matter how powerful and well-armed, his adversaries can't escape Rail's wrath as he races into the darkness surrounding the American government's most astonishing secret: the City of War.
