Have you ever wondered about what happens at the secret sites where terrorists are held outside the legal forty-eight?
Echo Five shows what goes on behind the wire. It's more and less than you can imagine, and more than Jason Ender imagines: suicide that may be murder, paydays that may be payoffs, and terrorism that may be the heart of terror.
This is the third Jason Ender novel that began with Less Than a Shadow and continued with The Peacock Angel.
Don't miss this newest one. No one but Jason Ender, the American agent, can play the espionage game as cool as he does. No one.
High wire now has a new meaning.

From A Review
In the midst of the writers’ strike, what the Screenwriter’s Guild needed was a great writer such as Chacko in their back pocket. While self-published, this book is a testament to a prolific writer that keeps you glued to your seat with his non-stop action and excellent storytelling ability. While this is the third in Chacko’s series revolving around interrogator (also called "echos") Jason Ender, there isn’t much back history repeated like you’d read in a Harry Potter novel.

I live in the Middle East most of the year and like to think I know what goes on with my neighbors. It's certainly more than we think and less than they would like us to think. What they would like most of all is not to be included in our empire.
When I'm in the U.S., I'm always surprised at the lack of urgency I find. What happens out in the provinces doesn't seem to be an issue at home. We leave these things to our politicians to sort out. If they can't tell us where Osama bin Laden is, even though he's the tallest man in Pakistan, well that's just the way it is. And that's just how empires are lost.
