The Lone Gladio: A Novel Kindle Edition

by Sibel D Edmonds (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars (312)
Assassinations. Drug running. False flag ops. A shadow paramilitary global network. Synthetic wars. CIA-NATO: A darker truth. Operation Gladio Plan B: Murder.

OG 68—aka Greg McPhearson—no longer works for the company. The hunter has now become prey. He knows this beast: what created him and shattered his soul. Until Mai. When he opened the door to her three years ago, he opened what soul he had left. Yet he belatedly discovers that no amount of pride or power can ever replace one precious breath . . .

When the CIA orders his FBI bosses to call off a sting, Special Agent Ryan Marcello decides to do some digging. He calls in senior analyst Elsie Simon, expert in the Turkey-Central Asian-Caucasus nexus, to help track down the high-level target with ties to ruthless power players in a global narcotics-terrorism ring. Every lead and each new suspect brings them that much closer to home. With Elsie’s help, and their lives at stake, the two begin their own investigation . . .

The murdered son of a U.S. mogul leads to the hiring of Ryan and Elsie, who are used and then trapped in a byzantine scheme of retribution: of black ops within black ops, trails gone cold, kidnappings, blackmail, unexplained murders . . . a plot that extends from Russia and Azerbaijan to Cambodia, Vietnam, and is buried inside the Deep State.

For his final mission, in a world where reality now stands on its head—"my enemy’s enemy is my enemy”—no one would be spared . . . the Gladio would be acting alone.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This book should be required reading for the enlightened citizen. Why? Many of the basic precepts of conspiracy and other forms
    Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2015
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Sibel Edmonds' novel puts real 'flesh on the bones' of evil and perversion lived by real people we read about in our evening news today. Yes they are still living these pedophiles, extortionists and murders whose names will usually remain hidden behind the word 'alleged' when the invocation of "state secret" is not successful.

    Be advised, while a true 'page turner,' this is no pleasure read for the insufficiently distracted. It has a thesis that is subtle enough to need mention: we are being gamed by an oligarchy who is equipped with a well-trained alphabet soup of agencies operating 24/7 beyond the reach of criminal prosecution. During Edmonds' suspenseful account we learn about a new normal, dystopian à la 1984, yet hidden in plain sight. Her protagonist learns that desiring good is not enough and that maintaining one's own morality won't win the battle against evil. True tyrants don't grapple with philosophical questions. They take what they want, invade privacy in real ways, extort with real 'evidence' and (if more subtle threats don't suffice) kill with real means. Those of us with children will do well to expose them to this title at adolescence since they will need knowledge of what is brewing. Let's be honest, some of their playmates' parents will be preparing their children how to leverage opportunities for participating on the tyrannical side.

    I am guessing that without word-of-mouth publicity this title will not get any attention in the schools. One of the best ways the authorities have of "banning" any title that threatens the status quo is to ignore it. Thanks to Edmonds for her creativity in producing something that peels away the illusion of freedom in the world. The Bible says in many places that the heart of man is so utterly corrupt--who can know it?

    This account is one of the more laudable uses of fiction and can be a deft introduction to history that escapes the scrutiny of mainstream [read 'paid for'] pundits, historians and spin doctors, let alone U.S. policy wonks. This book is well worth the read and I highly recommend it.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2015

    FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds , founder of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition, has not only set up her own media platform at Boiling Frogs Post, and published her own memoirs with 'Classified Woman', she has now added a fascinating novel to her list of great accomplishments. Where do I begin to describe this brilliant work? 'The Lone Gladio' is suspenseful, thrilling, intense, disturbing, dark and brooding. It's labeled as fiction but it's premise is based on reality, a terrifying one at that. Truths that most people are not willing to face when it comes to the 'War on Terror' , NATO, and all thru the U.S. Federal government and their departments - the CIA, FBI, Pentagon, and so on.

    The narrative is based on "Operation Gladio B" , an FBI codename adopted in 1997 for ongoing relations between US intelligence, the Pentagon, and Al Qaeda.The name refers to the original Operation Gladio, in which US intelligence had established groups stay-behind forces in Europe in preparation for a Soviet invasion. Assassinations.

    Drug running. False flag ops. A shadow paramilitary global network. Synthetic wars - says the description on the back cover. And it continues: The murdered son of a U.S. mogul leads to the hiring of Ryan and Elsie, who are used and then trapped in a byzantine scheme of retribution: of black ops within black ops, trails gone cold, kidnappings, blackmail, unexplained murders . . . a plot that extends from Russia and Azerbaijan to Cambodia, Vietnam, and is buried inside the Deep State. For his final mission, in a world where reality now stands on its head—My enemy’s enemy is my enemy”—no one would be spared . . . the Gladio would be acting alone.” Former FBI special agent Dennis Saccher states Edmonds's story "should have been front page news" because it is "a scandal bigger than Watergate". I've never read a novel twice..but looks like this will be the first time. Obviously highly recommended!

    4.0 out of 5 stars I've seen this movie before.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2014
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I've seen this movie before, but I still liked it. The story is held together by the activities of Greg McPhearson whose character resembles a cross between Jason Bourne and "V". He's a super-human monomaniac determined to wreak revenge on his former employers who unintentionally killed "his woman." His former employers are elements of the Pentagon, CIA, State Department, NATO, and God knows who else, who comprise Operation Gladio. I read the book because I assumed that Sibel Edmunds was using fictitious characters and situations to tell what she knows about the truth behind the real Operation Gladio and other highly classified (and criminal) shenanigans of this country's intelligence/defense agencies. Truth that she would be surely indicted for revealing openly. My problem with the book is that I'm not always sure where the fiction leaves off and truth begins. But I have always believed Sibel. Everything she has said about her experience with the FBI has the ring of truth in it. I suppose that's how this book has to be read - listen for the ring of truth in each event and each character depicted. It's definitely worth the read. I hope it is made into a movie!

    This is the fastest I have gone through a book. I couldn't put it down. I've read many books on the subject that Sibel talks about here and it is put together so concise and to the point. It's a sad state that what she writes about actually happens in this world and so many people are oblivious. Awesome story as well. Fast and quick. At first, there is so many characters but you put them all together pretty quick. Loved this book.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fictional aspect of a possible reality
    Reviewed in France on August 3, 2015
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Having previousy read "Classified Woman" I knew what I was getting into with this book. The "hero" is a bit too superhuman for my taste, but the story of secret service manipulation, corruption, predation and immorality, given Sibel's first-hand knowledge since her work at the FBI, makes it compelling. Must read by anyone wondering why international politics is the (crazy) way it is. But it makes more sense if you already have some idea of who Sibel Edmonds really is.

    An excellent book full of vital information about the world we live in. Will have you on the edge of your seat, audibly gasping or in tears. Well written, clear and an enjoyable read, the information is so shocking that at times you cannot believe it. In accordance with other reviewers, I urge you to do further reading before taking on this book, as it will make the events far clearer. I recommend her boiling frogs post, her collaboration with the corbett report and many of her other works. I would also recommend looking further into these issues once you have read it, to further your knowledge on this critical matter.
