The Substitute - Paperback

by John Catan (Author)

Dodging bullets and running from gunmen is not how Davyn Daeger normally spends his day.

Until recently, he was a socially awkward professor who preferred the solitude of the library. He wasn't always this way, but a terrible accident four years earlier drove him into self-imposed isolation.

Now, he's forced into the perilous world of espionage on a mission that only he can pull off. Davyn must do the unthinkable: go undercover and assume the role of a charismatic secret agent.

But, he'll have the lovely Kaleo Sandalwood in his ear to guide him as he attempts to infiltrate the secret organization, find the enemy agents, pull off a rescue, and escape a remote island, all while being pursued, shot at, and, worst of all, hobnobbing at black-tie events.

If he survives, will this recluse rejoin the world around him? Or will his brief stint as a secret agent push him that much deeper into seclusion?
