Rocked to the core by traitors and spies, the Organization made an unprecedented move in bringing together six highly trained men to track down one rogue wolf: The Archer. There are three field agents: one at the top of his game, one hoping to retire, and another walking the line; a cold-blooded assassin who can use any weapon known to man; a demolitions expert who can’t resist the allure of fire; and a computer hacker with more tricks in his mouse than Houdini. This team is made up of the best of the best, and if it can’t succeed in this impossible mission, no one can. But no plan survives first contact with the enemy – especially when you can’t even find out who he is! Despite what a cluster the assignment is from the start, the six men try to get their act together to track down the rogue operative, and in the process they discover there’s more to life than the next assignment. Now it’s up to them to survive by working together and determining who the real traitor is: an unknown friend, a close-by enemy, or the Organization itself.

This definitely ranks up there among the most unusual m/m books I've yet come across (and I've been reading Heidi Cullinan's The Seventh Veil series, so that's really saying something!). It was sprawling and intricate and complex and filled with characters I didn't really believe and didn't really ...
Oh.Mygod. This book is sooooo looooong. Explosions, musical beds, and a perplexing inability of the world's greatest spies to figure out what the hell is going on.
Reminds me of a chart my college history professor drew us of the actions and alliances that started World War I, and I loved it. I've always had a passion for intrigue, and this was perfectly done.
It was definitely a good read. The action/spy storyline though got a bit overloaded over the course of the story. It was too many turns and too many endless discussions with no result, especially in the second part of the book. Too many secret groups and undergroups that you easily lost trail of who...
