The Auroral Contingency

Thom Tate

In the heart of Siberia, Nikoli Petrovich, a man driven by insatiable greed, will stop at nothing to amass unimaginable wealth, even if it means sacrificing countless lives. Controlling the world's most powerful High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program, he unleashes chaos and devastation upon major cities, bolstering his bank account with the spoils of destruction. Unbeknownst to him, Sofia Kuzma stumbles upon his malevolent schemes and risks everything to expose his heinous deeds.
As Sofia races against time, desperately seeking to safeguard the damning evidence, Petrovich's henchmen relentlessly hunt her through Moscow's treacherous streets. With her life hanging in the balance, Sofia finds refuge at the doors of the U.S. Embassy, her plea for salvation eventually falling on the ears of the enigmatic agent, Blake MacKay.
A seasoned operative of the clandestine world, Blake MacKay is entrusted with a dual mission. His first task is to protect the imperiled Sofia, ensuring her safety while securing the damning proof against Petrovich. Simultaneously, he ventures into the mysterious disappearance of an agent who was monitoring Petrovich from a distance, his mission to retrieve crucial data hidden beneath the agent's skin.
Amidst a dangerous dance of life and death, Blake and Sofia cling to each other, unraveling a nefarious plot that threatens to plunge the global economy into chaos. With the weight of the CIA's scrutiny bearing down upon Petrovich, his time is running out, forcing Blake and Sofia into a high-stakes race against the clock to avert an imminent catastrophe that could shatter the world as we know it.

About the Author

Tate, Thom: -

I am an emerging writer in the Spy Thriller space. All my stories revolve around my main character, Blake MacKay. He has been described by reviewers as a cross between James Bond and Jason Bourne. Young, intelligent, and very deadly. Blake works for the Office of Clandestine Affairs at the CIA.

My series, "Covert World" is currently made up of five ebook novellas and one full-length novel that can be purchased as a paperback or downloaded as an ebook. I am currently working on my second novel, Deep Rising and hope to have it finished this year (2023)

If you like Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, and the like, then I think you'll enjoy these. The books, in order, are; "CzechMate", "Meltdown", "The 4th Strike", "Intercept" and "Red Storm" (avail. now on Amazon). "Intercept" and "Red Storm" are my personal favorites.

My full novel called is "Spear Garden", and gives you a full experience into the world of clandestine operations.

I am currently an independent author and do my own marketing by using Facebook, Twitter, and independent author sites. Any help that I can get is sincerely appreciated. If you've read any of my books and you enjoyed them, please write a review on the site that you've purchased them from. This helps me in more ways than you can imagine.

Look for "Deep Rising", coming late 2023

Thank you for your support.
