The Vanished
A missing physicist. Two botched jobs. And a world gone mad. Will this be Jonathan Quinn’s last job ever?
It’s been nine years since Quinn last worked with Mariko. That fateful job left him with a permanent sense of guilt, and her with a life forever changed.
Now, their paths have crossed again. Not in a way Quinn would have hoped for, but at least in one that might allow him to make partial amends.
To accomplish this, he will have to risk his career, by ignoring the strict orders he’s been given.

Brett Battles
Brett Battles crafts thrillers that don’t just chase the next plot twist—they explore the shadows where espionage, identity, and morality intertwine. Growing up in Southern California, he found his storytelling voice early, convincing his sixth-grade teacher to let the whole class dive into his short stories. That early spark evolved into a writing career spanning over forty novels, with characters and plots that grip readers with their complexity and emotional depth.
His debut introduced Jonathan Quinn, a freelance operative navigating a perilous world of secrets, setting a tone that defines Battles’ work: sharp, layered, and relentless. Awards like the Barry for Best Thriller followed, but it’s his ability to weave intricate narratives with human vulnerability that resonates most. Beyond the Quinn series, his storytelling branches into the Project Eden thrillers, the Rewinder trilogy’s inventive sci-fi twist, and collaborations that expand his reach.
