For the President of the United States, the horror of life in West Darfur just hit too close to home. His niece Lily, a nurse caring for Sudanese refugees, has been murdered by a corps of fearsome government-backed militia. Any response will destabilize the region and threaten the security of the world. America is out of options. Except one: Ryan Kealey. Kealey, ex-Special Forces, former CIA, has finished trying to save the world. But now the government has revealed its trump card, the one thing Kealey will risk everything for. Spurred to action, Kealey is plunged into the centre of a conspiracy that runs from the lawless streets of Sudan to the highest levels of American government. Brimming with intrigue and danger, "The Exile" pulses with high-stakes gamble after gamble, as one man navigates a tenuous web of international relations that could collapse at any moment.
