Sheepdogs: The funny, action-packed new spy thriller from the bestselling author of 2034

(Author: Elliot Ackerman)

TWO MISFITS. ONE MISSION. ZERO BACK-UP. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

Skwerl and Cheese are down on their luck after being screwed over by the US military. Skwerl, a former CIA paramilitary operative, was unceremoniously fired after a botched raid in Afghanistan. Big Cheese Aziz, a legendary Afghan pilot formerly employed by the CIA, is stuck working the graveyard shift at a local gas station.

Possessing a unique set of skills ill-suited for quiet peacetime living, both are recruited into a shadowy network of "sheepdogs" handling off-the-grid jobs for an anonymous dispatcher.

Their first assignment: repossess a luxury private jet stranded on a remote Ugandan airfield for a cut of its $5 million value. But when their contact vanishes, their handler's motives turn suspicious, and the women in their lives get drawn in, the stakes skyrocket overnight.

Spanning from the jungles of Kampala to the glitz of Marseille, Sheepdogs is a sly, hilarious, and action-packed thriller introducing an unforgettable spy duo operating in the moral grey zone between predator and prey.
