About The Book

A paramilitary operative confronting his grief on a path of retribution. A CIA analyst hunting a conspiracy that leads to the Oval Office. A Russian agent hiding in plain sight. Jason Matthews’s Red Sparrow meets Jack Carr’s The Terminal List in Beyond Honor, a debut political thriller that plunges readers into a world of international espionage, where loyalty and duty are tested.

A man forged by war, paramilitary operative Kevin Rhoads is recruited for a solo extraction mission deep inside Siberia. CIA analyst Whitney Skyler’s investigation into a Russian-backed bank on American soil leads to the President of the United States.

Director Cynthia King plays an audacious gambit, leveraging a thirty-year debt of honor to save a captured American agent. But in this world of shifting alliances, even the most careful plans can unravel. Skyler faces an impossible choice: expose her mentor’s dangerous game to protect national security or reveal the truth to Rhoads. Already shattered by loss, Rhoads discovers the devastating betrayal that will transform him into a force of vengeance, leaving death in his wake.

From the war-torn streets of Damascus to the merciless Siberian tundra, from the rugged Kenai Peninsula to the polished corridors of Langley, Virginia, Beyond Honor is a white-knuckled thriller about duty, betrayal, and the impossible choices made by those who serve in the shadows.

Raves and Reviews

Beyond Honor carries the DNA of the great old-school espionage novels fused with the action of the modern thriller. It reminds me why I fell in love with the genre.”

Jack Carr #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fourth Option

Beyond Honor is a high-risk, high-reward triumph. The Brodskys torched the espionage world in a Molotov cocktail.”

Ben Coes, New York Times bestselling author of Hijack

"Beyond Honor is the merging of old school espionage novels with modern day military thrillers. Pitting US and Russian intelligence agencies against each other in ways that would make Jason Matthew's Red Sparrow and Nelson DeMille's The Charm School proud. And bringing the emotion and kinetic action of paramilitary operations that show the influence of Jack Carr's The Terminal List and Mark Greaney's Gray Man series."

 —Best Thriller Books

“Beyond Honor hits like a hammer. K. B. Brodsky threads ruthless Russian operatives, cutthroat politics, and relentless CIA officers into a story that never lets you breathe. Charged with authentic detail and explosive action, this breakout debut keeps its foot on the gas—hang on for the ride!”

—M.P. Woodward, New York Times bestselling author of Red Tide and the Tom Clancy Jack Ryan series
