Astrid Book 3: The Early Missions
Perfect Strangers
Astrid has been through ten years of fighting, ten years of killing, and is exhausted. She doubts whether she now even has the strength to fight any more but is desperate to find a way to bring the conflict to an end.
Her country is sophisticated and technologically advanced but is bordered to the north by a belligerent dictatorship that has made threats of war. She was an actress and had been filming on the day an unprovoked attack took place; she witnessed friends being killed, and on that day, she gave up her dreams and became a nurse. However, another incident a couple of years later changed her, and she joined the military and became an assassin. She now uses her acting skills to move through enemy territory becoming different characters to avoid detection, blending in and hiding in plain sight.
Then an enemy general becomes aware of her and pursues her as she makes her way out. Will she survive?
In her youth, Astrid had dreamt of becoming an actress. But once war breaks out, she gives up her dreams to fight for her country. She retains her acting skills and uses them to her advantage, and she will do absolutely anything to ensure the success of her missions.
The war has degenerated into regular small skirmishes, but her commanders know that there will inevitably be a major assault that will overwhelm them. The only thing that is keeping the onslaught at bay is a policy of assassinating those enemy officers who show talent.
But an enemy general has become aware of Astrid and is determined to stop her.
Astrid Peterman is fighting with regular forces and has already shown herself to be a skilled fighter, driven in her desire to push back the invaders and seek revenge. She proves herself and is taken on by Captain DeSalva to become an assassin. She must further prove herself as a young woman in a male-dominated world. She decides that she will have no red lines, and nothing will be off limits when she is on a mission.
Riedel enters the enemy country as a deep cover spy, easily able to pass himself off as a native, and whose sole mission is to find out what the wonder weapon is.
Brigit Malaya, the enemy officer also has to prove herself, not only by fighting against her enemies, but in fighting against the deep-rooted misogyny in her country that devalues women. She works her way up through the ranks by virtue of brutal combat and is hardened by it; her ambition overriding her humanity, and all the while she is unaware that she is being watched and admired by the country’s dictator.
Paul and Sophie are planning the holiday of a lifetime, a month-long road trip in Australia, and when they return, they will finally start making plans for their marriage. Then one day a man, Larsen, turns up at Sophie’s work. He is from the company’s Swedish office and needs her help with legal issues. They work together and he seems to know exactly what a woman wants, making her question her relationship with her fiancé.
Paul meets Marty, a complete stranger, but who seems like a combination of every friend he has ever had. Paul finds himself talking to Marty about deeply personal issues and they bond over similar highly emotional experiences. Then Marty introduces Paul to a world that he never knew existed; a world of willing women, a world where his every desire would be fulfilled.
