Born to Rescue — Mike Wells

Note: This story is taken from Book 6 of the bestselling series Lust, Money & Murder. If you have read that series, please do not buy this book unless you want the story in stand-alone form.

Paid by the CIA in cash but otherwise operating totally off the grid, Leon Gilmour has an unusual job: professional extractor. His highly specialized expertise is rescuing American “assets” who are trapped in enemy territory. Trained in a top secret program developed during the Cold War, Leon is put through grueling instruction that is part espionage, part law enforcement, and part military black ops. His skills are finely honed to deal with virtually any situation, from rescuing hostages held by international terrorists to helping political prisoners escape from secret prisons. Leon is not only an expert automobile driver, but can also pilot airplanes, helicopters, hot air balloons, bobsleds, locomotives, and just about any other vehicle known to man. In other words, he can do whatever it takes to play the hero and whisk the endangered operative to safety.

Successful extractions demand quick thinking, creative improvisation, and balls of steel.

Leon Gilmour has all three.

This is the story of how he became the CIA's top extractor.
