Having escaped from the clutches of Irina’s organisation, XIII is on the loose in America but still hunted by both Giordino’s NSA and Irina’s top assassin, Jessica. As he tries to return to his friends in San Miguel, he’s forced to dodge bullets and outsmart various traps and ambushes.

With the odds stacked against him, he will have to rely on help from an enemy and his own mounting anger at the constant string of attacks.

Really, I am lost for words.  There is not much you can write without it being a spoiler. The pace of the action and all the added twists and turns and how effectively they are drawn is something you can never question.

Forget Jason Bourne and James Bond: XIII takes the espionage-syp thriller to a whole new level and never goes over budget or temporarily cancelled by the studio. A winner.
