    About this ebook

    NATIONAL SILVER MEDAL WINNER "READERS FAVORITE".
    The Civilian is a psychological adventure thriller about Robert Caron, an ordinary man, who has lived a cautious life. He's never pushed the limits of his security or taken the risks to truly make his life meaningful.

    Caron is presented a unique opportunity by the government – one that could save thousands of lives, while giving some purpose to his own. However, it's a mission from which the most highly-trained agents have not returned.

    Author Michael Bickel takes you on an unforgettable emotional voyage through the mind of Robert Caron – a man facing the tragic physical and mental toll of his illness, all alone, in a dangerous foreign land.
