Cold Mirage
The Rise of the Tyrant
This new novel is the origin story of the heroic characters found in the D.A. Borges Deep State Ops series as well as the origin of the man who has taken the world hostage.
The Cold War ended with the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, or so it was believed. Perhaps that hope was only a mirage. Cold Mirage transports us back to those heady days before a tyrant consumed with revenge and messianic ambitions rose to power.

“His writing style harkens back to the best of Mr. Fleming.”
“A thriller so good, it grabs you like a CNN headline. It almost makes me nervous to pick up the morning newspaper, from fear that some of this has come true […] Borges is so good, he's scary!”
“D.A. Borges picks up a scintillating topic du jour…terrorism, cyber warfare, international crime…and weaves a hard hitting, eminently readable, can’t-put-the-book-down page-turner. I finish one and look eagerly for the next.”
