The Reluctant Agent – Book 2

To save the world, he must become something he never wanted to be.

Malcolm Robertson never set out to be a spy.

An engineer by training and a captain by necessity, he is ill-suited to deception and subterfuge — yet circumstances force him into the shadows. When intelligence surfaces about a looming threat that could devastate Earth itself, Malcolm is given an impossible assignment: infiltrate a hostile power and steal an ancient artifact capable of stopping it.

The mission demands lies, betrayal, and skills Malcolm does not possess. Every step draws him deeper into a world of espionage, where one mistake could ignite an international crisis — or end the mission before it begins. With enemies closing in and allies whose loyalties are uncertain, Malcolm must decide how far he is willing to go… and what parts of himself he is willing to sacrifice.

Tense, clever, and driven by moral conflict, The Reluctant Agent transforms Malcolm from reluctant captain into an unwilling spy — and raises the stakes from survival to the fate of the world itself.

Perfect for readers who enjoy steampunk adventure, espionage, and reluctant heroes forced into impossible choices.

Dive into the next thrilling chapter in Malcolm’s evolution from outsider to indispensable.
