He has given the world First Blood, the novel that introduced the character of Rambo into the pantheon of modern American heroes, and The Brotherhood of the Rose, the international bestseller that became a top-rated television miniseries.  He created the sensational New York Times bestsellers The Fraternity of the Stone and The League of Night and Fog.  Now, the seven-million-copy author, David Morrell, stretches the boundaries of the suspense thriller further than ever before with The Fifth Profession, a novel overflowing with international intrigue and n action.

The man known only as Savage is an executive protector, a member of the "fifth profession," whose clients are the most wealthy and powerful people in the world.  His mission is not only to protect but, if duty compels, to avenge -- even at the risk of death.  His current assignment is the retrieval of Rachel Stone, who, as the equally beautiful sister of a glamorous and legendary movie star, faces destruction at the hands of her billionaire husband.

Joining with Akira, contemporary samurai master and Japan's most brilliant executive protector, Savage soon realizes that he's trapped in a task much more far-reaching than keeping one person alive and safe.  All three -- Savage, Akira, and Rachel -- are bound together in a common nightmare, a set of horrifying memories, a terrifying past that never happened but is somehow undeniably real.  Only together can they solve the mystery.  Yet when they do, an even more chilling scenario awaits them -- one that has the potential to shatter not only their world but ours as well.

From Greece to the south of France, to America, and finally to the land of the gods -- Japan -- their quest follows a labyrinth of violence, mystery, and passion in a novel that displays all of David Morrell's powerful storytelling talents at their inimitable best.
