"In Soulless, Number 4 in the Curtis Chronicles, thriller writer Joseph Badal once again displays his skill as a chess master, moving an eclectic assortment of pieces around on a board divided into exotic locales. Instead of kings and castles, his good guys are ex-Green Berets and skilled intel specialists. The villains are the violent criminals who trade in human beings, and the corrupt officials who enable their evil ways. Former CIA field agent Eddie Parnell has had enough of this nasty bunch. So it’s no surprise when he and his partner, the beautiful and lethal Tatiana, ignore the long odds stacked against them, pull together an unlikely special ops team to rescue victims, and take a wrecking ball to the worldwide trafficking operations that have ruined the lives of thousands. In Soulless, Badal mixes up a cocktail to be savored by his readers that is made with equal parts of action, adventure and just plain fun."

With this explosive, action-packed novel, Badal joins the pantheon of great storytellers: Baldacci, Silva, and Finder. Once you start reading this propulsive story, you won't be able to put it down."
