Operation Mantis

A high stakes international political thriller - Max Voronin series.

By: L. G. Wilder

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

His enemies thought they'd buried him. They were wrong.

After surviving a brutal war against corruption and betrayal in Operation Firefly, Max Voronin hoped he could honor his daughter's memory with something lasting - the Firefly Foundation. But in Russia, good deeds never go unpunished.

Now the oligarch-turned-fighter is back in the storm.

When the foundation becomes the target of ruthless rivals and violent power brokers, Max and his team are pulled deeper into a deadly game of political intrigue, corruption and betrayal that stretches from the dark heart of St. Petersburg to the corridors of power in Moscow and beyond - crossing borders into Finland and the jungles of Mozambique.

Corrupt politicians, brutal crime lords, spies, and imperial ambitions collide, forcing Max to confront a hidden secret buried in the Soviet past that could shatter everything he's fought for. Allies are scarce. Trust is rarer still. And the price of failure could be higher than anything he has faced before.
