The fight for freedom has sent Matt Drake to some of the world's most dangerous spots. This time the war is coming to his front door in an electrifying thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Tom Clancy Target Acquired and Hostile Intent.

Broad daylight on an Austin, Texas, street and DIA operative Matt Drake is fighting for his life against a highly trained team of assassins. Who are they? Why do they want him dead? How will he protect those closest to him?

The answers will take him into some of the most dangerous spots in the Middle East and will put him in the clutches of an old foe known simply as the Devil. It's a world of double crosses, with no boundaries between the guilty and the innocent. It will take all of Drake's wiles to get out alive.

Praise for The Outside Man

Rave reviews for Without Sanction

"This is a thinking man's action thriller, kind of what you'd have if you mixed John le Carré with Brad Thor. Cerebral when it wants to be and action-packed when it needs to be."—The Providence Journal

"A hell of a ride....More, please."—Booklist (starred review)

"A novel with an emotional core, and that may be what makes it stand out from other thrillers of a similar ilk. A page-turner with the kind of small details that lend unquestionable authenticity."—Kirkus Reviews

"Don Bentley...succeeds in making Without Sanction an original and fresh story that inspires empathy for his characters and plot. Action-packed...with plenty of vivid battle scenes and military details that keep the plot churning."—South Florida Sun-Sentinel
