Latvian Border Region
A policewoman finds something terrifying.
Deep in the forests along the border, there is proof of a massive Russian invasion plan.
US Embassy, Berlin
Someone is trying desperately to get a message to the CIA.
But Kremlin assassins have been activated across three countries to stop them.
New York, USA
A Kremlin sleeper agent is activated with very precise instructions.
The Kremlin has set its plan in motion.
Its goal is nothing short of the reestablishment of the USSR, and it is willing to risk World War Three in the process.
There is only one man who can stop it.
But this mission could cost him his life.
The Target by Saul Herzog is the stunning third instalment in the series that has single-handedly taken the publishing industry, and Hollywood rights departments, by storm. This dazzling tour de force kicks off right where the second book ended. From the mind of one of the most creative and versatile writers working in America today, this book will surely go down as a classic of the spy thriller genre.
If you read only one book this year, this is it. Action, adventure, rebellion, provocative foreign agents, characters you can sink your teeth into. If you’re looking for a new spy thriller series that will stay with you long after you turn the last page, look no further.
Recommended for fans of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher, Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp, Robert Ludlum’s Jason Bourne, and Brad Thor’s Scot Harvath.

Totally engaging!
Excellent! Grabs your attention and wonât let go! Read it almost straight through! Will read the entire series! So excited to find a new author that gets that thirst for interesting topics intertwined with a great plot!

The Target was Good
Another great story in the Lance Spector thriller series. The characters are so detailed and brought to life, their strengths and weaknesses are easy to see. The characters are heroes, yet flawed; they make mistakes. It makes it heart-wrenching and real. Also, this story is realistic, like a journalist is reporting on the events, instead of an author writing them. Fast-past, plenty of action and heart, and addicting.

Nice read
Good book to read, a little slow but it picks up later in the story. I recommend it to others.

Fully hooked on this series! ðð
Just finished book 3 of this series and Iâm all-in. Youâll get hooked too!I appreciate there are both male and kick-ass female protagonists. Iâve also learned about some of the lesser known historical events, and buildings, mentioned. (Looking them up as I read. Thank you.)Some events/discussions in this book re Russia and wanting to reunite the USSR hit uncomfortably close to home and were actually mildly terrifying because of the parallels to reality. (I woke up today and learned that Mr DJT has kept in touch with the reigning Russian dictator -IRL. 7 phone calls since 2021.) ð³ð¤¯** I would also like to add perhaps a trigger warning for some disturbing torture discussions of torture re animal/human.

Great!
This is my 3rd Lance Spector Book written by Saul Herzog. The part of Mr Herzogâs writing Iâve enjoyed the most is the accuracy when writing about places and historical events. In fact I will become intrigued by the description of places or events and end up spending a day or more of my reading time studying and learning about places or events that existed. However the characters in the novel are fictional and have superhero personas. The author does an excellent job intertwining history, places and fiction. The action is wild, there is never a dull moment and so far Iâm just unable to put them down. So on to book 4! If you enjoy the style of novels Iâm describing, I encourage you to read the Lance Spector Thriller Series.

Incrediblyâ¦exciting
Iâve now read three novels in this series and have just started the fourth. Herzogâs narratives are well paced and dynamic; heâs a master of the genre. I have especially appreciated his sometimes sympathetic (and illuminating) background commentary on Russian history – it mitigates against the almost comic-book sense of Russians as a gang who canât shoot straight (vs American Lance Spector who never misses). On the other hand, Herzogâs determination to identify ALL the specifics of guns & ammo can be bewildering to a reader whose closest connection to firearms is his fireplace and his armchair. And lots of details about Russian landscapes and cityscapes tempt this unfamiliar reader to skip back into the action. But I realize these details contribute to the credibility of the action; at the very least, one appreciates the thoroughness of his research. The one habit of his that really strains my own credulity is the rapidity with which his (âgoodâ) characters recover from serious wounds. Perhaps their goodness speeds up the healing! Nevertheless, these novels are fun to read, and I am happy to dive right in again after finishing each one.

A great but sad story.
A good follow up to book2. The rescues and explanations were very well done. The sadness is the ugly world we live in.
Eager Reader –
interesting but very disturbing
SPOILER ALERT: The author is prescient in describing a Russian invasion of one of its smaller neighbors: in the book itâs Latvia rather than Ukraine and the invasion in the book has a much happier outcome in which the invasion is defeated after only one day rather than dragging on for 2 grueling years as the Russian invasion of Ukraine has done. The author has created vivid secondary characters who are more interesting than the main characters. But my main problem with the book was its extreme goriness which was so bad that, in many places, I had to skim over them. The author could have made his point without the level of horror reached in the book. Recommended only for those with a strong tolerance for extremely disturbing gore.

The basic premise of the series stays true in this book and is eerily reminiscent of the world today. However, the author includes several long passages of truly vomit-inducing sessions that are truly just there to shock and disgust the reader. They are in no way relevant or necessary to the plot; they take away from it instead, and cause me to lose some respect for the author.
Phildog –
This is the best of the Spector novels so far. It does not depend as much on the main man. It expands the descriptions of the others around him and lets some light shine on their inner thoughts.The plot – hardly beyond belief. Elements seem odd, but plausible. A very enjoyable read and I can recommend it. But on,y after reading the first two, otherwise lots of it doesnât make sense.
Spoonsoz –
A really, really good series. Solid, complicated plots to keep you on the edge of your seat to find out what will happen next. Characters you really get to know complete with all their strengths and weaknesses. Action a plenty (quite brutal at times) but in the context of the story.Appropriate bits of history are inserted that leave you with more that just a good read.And finally, excellent projection of world politics as they are coupled with a good take on the US system with all its hope, faults and limitations as opposed to the Russian ingrained view of the future being found in the past.
Jaydeep Desai –
Appreciate the depth of the research in writing this .. actually , what is happening in Ukraine now , is what has been narrated here !Also , would like to read some emotional connection between Lance and the two ladies in the subsequent books ⦠it may add some human angle to the brutal reading !!

An excellent read you could see where the fiction of the book could be aligned with some of today’s real life events
