About this series
The two British agents, Kane Rhodes and Brian Jones, are sent to China to determine the origin of a new missile guidance system which can increase the distance a normal missile could travel. Their investigations keep them one step ahead of the authorities and eventually they are forced to flee over the border to North Korea. Their mission develops into a cat and mouse game where several times they have escaped capture by the skin of their teeth. The known location of their whereabouts was proving to be more than coincidence as they uncovered more sinister weapon developments that would allow North Korea to physically threaten the U.S.A. from their own homeland.
The duo are tasked with bringing out a sample of the completed missile guidance system and any improved armaments that went with it. This task was made all the more difficult by the relentless pursuit of a North Korean commander, the ever decreasing time scale - and the interventions of an MI6 mole.

2
A power packed and intriguing thriller, The Shir Khan Prophecy is the second novel in the Kane Rhodes/Brian Jones series from author John Lock. Intelligent and unswervingly appealing it whips along at a breakneck pace as Lock dexterously plaits converging plot lines across international boundaries, his attention to detail particularly noteworthy. Two British MI6 Agents, Kane Rhodes and Brian Jones, have been sent to Afghanistan to infiltrate the notorious Al-Jahid Cult who, for the past few years, have been grooming prominent people throughout the world, to become major terrorists. The Cult had only recently been uncovered when Kane and Brian helped to thwart a major terrorist attack on Washington which could have claimed several hundred thousand lives, even millions if the process, as intended, had been similarly implemented in other areas. Infiltrating the Cult had been comparatively easy; the uncovered extent of the potential danger however, had sent warning tremors across the whole of the Western world and it was left to a solitary CIA Agent to pick up the trail.
- DEPARTMENT X: Presidential Trail
As a death threat against one of the USA Presidential candidates is uncovered whilst he is touring the country campaigning, an unlikely source of help comes from a British operative whose international investigation leads to mystery, violence and family secrets. Kane Rhodes teams up with Brian Jones and the two MI6 agents begin a fast paced, action packed adventure which leads them from the U.K. to Pakistan and Dallas to Washington. Presidential Trail is the first in the Kane Rhodes/Brian Jones series and has received excellent reviews.

John Lock
John Lock was born in Swansea but now lives in Barry, South Wales. He is an extremely effective thriller writer whose novels you just cannot put down. He is married to wife Lindsey with whom they have a grown up daughter Kelly and John also has four other children Catherine, Mark, Daniel, and David. To date, John has written four novels in the Kane Rhodes/Brian Jones series, Presidential Trail, The Shir Khan Prophecy, Treacherous Assignment and Lethal Credentials. Each book has a 'stand alone' story but they do follow on in time. He has the ability to mix fast paced action with diversified story lines but still captivating the reader to find out 'what happens next?' His story lines are well researched and the accurate descriptions of places and content bring a sense of reality to a genre which could sometimes go beyond belief but is definitely not the case in his highly acclaimed novels.
