The Athena Protocol introduces an all-female covert ops team that handles missions governments cannot officially support. In the first book, operative Jessie Archer completes a mission but disagrees with how it was handled, setting up a conflict between loyalty and conscience that drives the series.
The Shadow Mission continues the story, pushing Jessie into more dangerous territory. Shamim Sarif brings her background in film and literary fiction to the action genre, creating thrillers that move fast but still care about the moral questions their characters face.
