THE GALAPAGOS AGENDA

Fellow authors and NY Times as well as International Bestsellers

 

THE GALAPAGOS AGENDA is my kind of thriller – a brilliant and original premise spun out into a globe-spanning cat-and-mouse game that moves with a break-neck pace through a world of international intrigue, extreme wealth, political assassination, and ancient rivalries—and populated with some of the most wickedly drawn villains in recent memory. Leonardo Wild writes with the self-assured style of a veteran. This is a tremendously good novel.

—Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times bestselling co-creator of the famed Pendergast series of thrillers.

 

A sweeping international thriller.  Leonardo Wild vividly captures the dangerous worlds of political intrigue and corporate greed in a high stakes showdown in the Galapagos Islands, while also reminding us that true predators live closer than we think.

Yachts exploding, luxury cruise ships, sunken treasure, hammerhead sharks and a plethora of bad guys. THE GALAPAGOS AGENDA was pure enjoyment from the opening page to the final word.

A cross between Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Ian Fleming, Leonardo Wild hurls us down a rabbit hole of philosophy, psychosis, and murder in his debut thriller THE GALAPAGOS AGENDA.  From board rooms to mansions and sleek yachts, you’ll enjoy this roller-coaster ride of suspense and thrills.

In his debut novel, Wild takes on billionaire excess, corporate abuse and geopolitics, all in a thrilling story set against the pristine habitat of the Galapagos Islands. One might not think that’s possible, but Wild’s talent for telling a story brings the pieces together and makes the whole greater than the sum of its parts.

Leonardo Wild expertly mixes any number of disparate elements in THE GALAPAGOS AGENDA, an old-fashioned, page-turning potboiler where the stakes keep rising and the pace remains lightning quick from first page to last.  This smooth and savory thriller features a recipe that combines the best ingredients of Robert Ludlum and Clive Cussler, further seasoned by polished prose. Structured in classic fashion but constituted within the backdrop of cutting edge concerns and technology, THE GALAPAGOS AGENDA shoots for the moon and scores a bulls-eye.

Leonardo Wild continues in the great tradition of fine story telling, eruditely and eloquently setting out a story with THE GALAPAGOS AGENDA that blends many of today's most profound themes and leading social themes of weighty importance in a masterful modern day thriller who-done-it fashion.
