Description

A former soldier turned movie star turned spy must stop a catastrophic nuclear weapons deal.
This gripping thriller from Thomas Caplan propels readers around the globe-from Hollywood to Rome, the Black Sea to the Mediterranean-and to the very brink of nuclear abyss.

The novel's charismatic hero, former covert operative Ty Hunter, has become, almost by accident, the number one film star in the world. When he is recruited on a clandestine mission to thwart the transfer of nuclear warheads into rogue hands, he must deploy every skill he has as an actor, soldier, and spy. Donning his fame as a disguise, Ty matches wits and muscle with the enigmatic billionaire Ian Santal and his nefarious protégé Philip Frost-two supremely sophisticated adversaries- even as he falls in love with the entrancing young woman closest to them both, the jewelry designer Isabella Cavill.

In prose that is both elegant and powerful, The Spy Who Jumped Off the Screen gives us a breakneck parable of good and evil-and a hero in the tradition of James Bond and Jason Bourne, who is sure to become an icon of the genre.

    In a market filled with spy books, this one stands out! A very unique twist on an oft written about subject. I look forward to Ty's evolution as his character develops. And in classic spy book tradition, this one ended with the promise of a follow up.If this was indeed the authors 1st book of this nature, then I'd like to take my hat off to him. Job well done.....carry on!

    Ok start... Got better in middle. A bit disconnected at parts, but worth the read. Keep writing, character has promise.

    This is a terribly boring book. The characters are lifeless and and the action never happens. The narrative is overly descriptive and not in good way!
  • Well worth the read

    Mr. Caplan's latest takes you on a well-thought out ride that exposes the reader to nonstop geopolitical intrigue well mixed with lessons in history, geography as well as the world of advanced hacking. Being somewhat familiar with a few of the novel's locales made the story even more exciting. While the verbiage, at times, seemed a bit excessive, Mr. Caplan's characters nonetheless came alive and I have no doubt that his next novel will reintroduce us once more to the exploits of Ty Hunter and friends (or enemies, as the case may be).
    Purchase this book. It is well worth the read.

    Great fits and starts of suggested compromising situations which never come together for the reader.

    Run on sentences, overly wordy, characters never came to life. Not even a decent travelogue.
