Alain Pessin

    26 novembre 1949 – 31 décembre 2005

    Fort de décennies de reportages sur le front, Al Pessin élabore des récits au style direct qui injectent une véracité palpitante. Sa vaste expérience de couverture des zones de guerre et des régions politiquement chargées du monde entier informe sa vision du monde unique. Son écriture, alimentée par ces expériences profondes, mêle tension et réalisme, offrant aux lecteurs un engagement immédiat et immersif. Pessin excelle à capturer les complexités de l'expérience humaine au milieu du danger et de l'intrigue politique.

He plans to establish his own rule and wage all-out war against the West.For Blowback to succeed, Bridget needs a covert operative to infiltrate Al-Souri's forces. U. S. Army Lieutenant Faraz Abdallah is still recovering from his last mission. But both he and Bridget know he's the only man for the job.
