The Phoenix Variant (The Fifth Column #3)

Rogue operative Sophia is in the wrong place at the right time.

A terrorist attack vaporizes a large chunk of the Upper West Side, almost killing Sophia. Narrowly avoiding the explosion, she gives chase to an operative running from the blast zone.

Amid the chaos, Sophia recovers a rare meteorite from the operative and is quickly ensnared in a hunt between clashing factions of a labyrinthine covert government known as the Fifth Column.

With New York City sealed off and the hurricane rapidly approaching, Sophia has nowhere to run and everything to lose.
The Phoenix Variant is the third action-packed novel in The Fifth Column technothriller series by ex Australian recon soldier Nathan M. Farrugia. If you like conspiracies, covert operations and edge-of-your-seat action, then you’ll love this thrilling cross between Jason Bourne and Dark Angel.
