Real Hero - Book 3: Shattered Alliances takes Dave and his team on a dangerous mission to South America, where a covert CIA operation has gone awry, leaving bodies in its wake and tensions on the rise. Tasked with cleaning up the mess, Dave and his team must extract evidence and recover the bodies of CIA operatives before the situation escalates into an international crisis. Their mission quickly becomes complicated when they discover that one of the agents, Sarah Moreau, is still alive, held captive by rogue militias.
As the team splits up to pursue two objectives—rescue Moreau and retrieve the bodies—their mission becomes a race against time. The Venezuelan military is on high alert, and the region is crawling with militias who won’t hesitate to escalate the conflict. Dave’s powers are pushed to their limits as he faces not only the physical challenges of the jungle but also the moral complexities of dealing with rogue factions and the consequences of American interference in foreign affairs.
Throughout the mission, tensions within the team simmer, especially as the clock ticks down. Serj, Omar, and Dan work covertly to retrieve the fallen agents’ bodies, navigating through heavily guarded compounds and avoiding detection. Meanwhile, Dave, Anya, and Alicia search for Moreau, whose condition worsens with every passing moment. The team must rely on each other, but trust and survival instincts are constantly tested.
The jungle setting adds an intense layer of danger, where every move could trigger a confrontation with hostile forces. Dave’s internal struggle grows, balancing his incredible abilities with the responsibilities they bring. The mission’s stakes aren’t just geopolitical; they’re personal, as the team battles not only external enemies but also their own doubts and the ever-present threat of failure.
Shattered Alliances delivers a high-octane, tension-filled narrative where action, suspense, and personal stakes collide. The novel explores themes of loyalty, power, and the moral ambiguities of covert operations, all while building toward an explosive conclusion.
