The First Law of Chaos

Sam Holland doesn’t see himself as spy material, and when he gets recruited right out of university, a part of him believes it has to be a practical joke. He's no James Bond. A year later, he’s still not convinced—running a bogus news agency in Slovenia; engaging in juvenile banter with Adam, his sole colleague; flirting with a young woman from the embassy—it’s not what he imagined life as a spy would be. And then it all goes horribly wrong when Sam and Adam see something they’re not meant to see, and finally understand the true danger of the game they’re playing. On the run and with people from their own government trying to kill them, Sam realizes too late that his recruitment was something much worse than a practical joke. The first casualty of war might be the truth, but it looks increasingly likely that the second might be Sam Holland himself.
