Title: Noble Beginnings
Description: **THE CIA UNLEASHED HIM...NOW THEY WANT HIM DEAD.**

*Some men are trained for war. Jack Noble was trained for something darker.*

When a simple surveillance operation in Iraq goes violently wrong, Marine-turned-covert-agent Jack Noble finds himself caught in a deadly web of betrayal, conspiracy, and cover-ups. Branded a fugitive and pursued by the very government he served, Jack must rely on his instincts, his partner Riley “Bear” Logan, and a whole lot of grit to survive.

But there’s more at play than anyone realizes. As Jack races to unravel the truth, he discovers a conspiracy that goes far beyond anything he could have imagined—a plot so sinister that it puts innocent lives on the line, including his own. From shadowy back alleys to high-stakes encounters in the heart of the nation's capital, the chase never stops. Every friend could be a foe. Every call could be a trap. And every move could be his last.

With the clock ticking and danger closing in from all sides, Jack has only one option: fight back. But when the system that trained him decides he’s expendable, how do you win a war against ghosts?
