This week I'm featuring The Gorgon Agenda (SPI Files #8) by Lisa Shearin. This is a really fun urban fantasy series.
A planet-killing weapon, sinister sisters, and immortal monsters.
All in a day’s work for the agents of SPI.
I’m Makenna Fraser, seer for SPI (Supernatural Protection & Investigations). I knew SPI protected some of the world’s most dangerous relics, but I didn’t know our draconic founder, Vivienne Sagadraco, kept them in a vault deep below Manhattan.
Until the most lethal relic of all was stolen.
The Aegis is the shield once wielded by Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war. The center of the Aegis contains the head of Medusa, making it the ultimate weapon. All who look on it or its reflection are instantly turned to stone.
Old enemies and new adversaries have descended on New York—and one of them now has the Aegis:
Tiamat—Babylonian goddess of chaos, and Vivienne Sagadraco’s sister
Stheno and Euryale—Eight-foot-tall, snake-haired gorgons, granddaughters of the Titans, and Medusa’s sisters
The Sisterhood of Medusa—An ancient gorgon military order
The Cabal—A supernatural terrorist organization
Those behind the theft have declared war on humanity, with a hatred that was millennia in the making, and a heist that was centuries in the planning.
Our mission is simple yet impossible: Retrieve the Aegis and save the world. But we can’t do it alone. We’ll need our friends, family, and some unexpected new allies if we’re to stop this ancient evil once and for all.

Book Beginnings / First Line Friday
Did you ever get the feeling you were being watched?
Friday 56
Knowledge was the ultimate weapon. Always had been, always would be. You could have the biggest army and the best weapons, but without accurate knowledge of your enemy, they'd only do you so much good.
What have you been reading lately?
That 56 quote is quite accurate. The more knowledge the better, in fact.
ReplyDeleteThat's so true! Hope you have a great week, Mark! :)
DeleteNow I am definitely curious! Here's my post: BOOKISH FRIDAY
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by! Hope you have a nice week! :)
DeleteI just had that feeling like I was being watched the other day. When I looked up I realized it was the cat! Ha!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny! I get that feeling from my dogs, lol. Hope you have a wonderful week! :)
DeleteI'm with Mark, that 56 quote really is true. And I love that intro. This sounds like a fun series! I hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope you have a lovely weekend! :)
DeleteI'm so far behind in this series! But I love that this one has the Sisterhood of Medusa in it. Fun. :D
ReplyDeleteI haven't read many books lately that deal with mythology, so this was a lot of fun. Got to see a different side to Medusa and her sisters than usual. Hope you have an awesome week! :)
DeleteThe line from page 56 is spot on.
ReplyDeleteIt really is! Hope you have a great week! :)
