The Mike Bocks Head of Medusa

Grief-stricken after the death of his wife Clara, Grant Jackson retreats deep into the Sahara. Guided by Ayoub, a Berber chieftain, he embarks on an eleven-day ritual of fasting and solitude. Amid the silence and shifting sands, Grant undergoes a mystical awakening. In visions, he is reunited with Clara's spirit-and emerges from the desert no longer broken, but reborn. Yet peace proves fleeting. He hunts down the Spanish fascists responsible for Clara's death and takes brutal revenge. In France, he crosses paths with Kristina, an old ally, and a new bond begins to form. Soon, the world pulls him back into conflict. With help from Jane, a self-aware AI, Grant thwarts a Turkish plot to seize Cyprus. Then, working with Indian agent Victoria Jamadagni, he derails Iran's attempt to buy nuclear bombs by replacing them with fakes.
