Book 1

Russian meddling, American fragmentation, and global politics collide in this action-packed, international thriller from New York Times bestselling author, Eric Van Lustbader.

'Dark, sophisticated and compelling ... The Nemesis Manifesto couldn't be more timely' DAVID BALDACCI.

Evan Ryder is a lone wolf, a field agent for a black-ops arm of the Department of Defense, who has survived unspeakable tragedy and dedicated her life to protecting her country. When her fellow agents begin to be systematically eliminated, Evan must unravel the thread that ties them all together... and before her name comes up on the kill list.

The list belongs to a mysterious cabal known only as Nemesis, a hostile entity hell-bent on tearing the United States apart. As Evan tracks them from Washington D.C. to the Caucasus Mountains, from Austria to a fortress in Germany where her own demons reside, she unearths a network of conspirators far more complex than anyone could have imagined. Can Evan uproot them before Nemesis forces bring democracy to its knees?

The Nemesis Manifesto is an epic and harrowing adventure of the predatory forces that are threatening the very fabric of democracy and kicks off a compelling new series with a singular new hero for our time.

The Kobalt Dossier

by Eric Van Lustbader

Published 1 June 2021
Evan Ryder is back in The Kobalt Dossier, the stunning follow-up to The Nemesis Manifesto from New York Times bestselling author Eric Van Lustbader.
EVAN RYDER: A SINGULAR HERO FOR OUR TIME.
Evan Ryder works for a clandestine, black-ops arm of the Department of Defense, dedicated to protecting America and its people.

Or at least, she did. Having thwarted the international fascist syndicate known as Nemesis, Evan has returned to Washington D.C. to discover her division shut down, and her dead sister's children missing.

Among Nemesis' supporters was a cabal of billionaires whose influence reaches to the highest office in the country: the President of the United States. If Evan is to take them on and hunt down the kidnappers, she must work with her former boss, Ben Butler, and navigate their tricky past.

Their search will take them from Istanbul to the Carpathian Mountains of Romania. And all the while, an unimaginable enemy stalks in the shadows, an adversary whose secretive past will upend Evan's entire world – and might just annihilate her.
