We dive into the inspiration for the title, how he crafts action without letting his main characters kill anyone, and plans for the third book in the series.The Medusa Protocol SynopsisWhen Astrid, known in her assassin days as Azrael, stopped showing up to Assassins Anonymous, the group assumed her past had caught up with her. Only her sponsor Mark, formerly the deadliest killer in the world, holds out hope that she's okay. Then, during a meeting, the group gets a sign, or rather, a pizza delivery. Is there another psychopath out there who actually likes olives on their pizza, or is Astrid trying to send Mark a message?Meanwhile, Astrid wakes up in the cell of a black site prison, on a remote island. A doctor subjects her to mysterious experiments, plumbing the depths of her memory and looking for a vital clue from her past. She'll do anything to escape, except…killing anyone. Hmm. Turns out it's not easy to blow this joint without blowing anything, or anyone up.

Barbara Peters in conversation with Brett Battles and Rob Hart

When Astrid stopped showing up to Assassins Anonymous, the group assumed her past had caught up with her. Only her sponsor Mark, formerly the deadliest killer in the world, holds out hope that she's okay. Then, during a meeting, the group gets a sign, or rather, a pizza delivery. Is there another psychopath out there who actually likes olives on their pizza, or is Astrid trying to send Mark a message?  Meanwhile, Astrid wakes up in the cell of a black site prison, on a remote island. A doctor subjects her to mysterious experiments, plumbing the depths of her memory and looking for a vital clue from her past. She'll do anything to escape, except . . . killing anyone. Hmm. Turns out it's not easy to blow this joint without blowing anything—or anyone—up. Hart's writing is fast paced, funny, and hits in all the right places—and he manages to explore an emotional core that few thriller writers dare tackle. THE MEDUSA PROTOCOL is poised to lure new readers and bring back old fans as Astrid faces countless challenges . . . like a deadly snake-infested island. Rob Hart is the author of Assassins Anonymous, The Paradox Hotel, The Warehouse, and the Ash McKenna crime series, and the co-author of Scott Free with James Patterson. He's worked as a book publisher, a reporter, a political communications director, and a commissioner for the city of New York. Hart lives in Jersey City.
