In "Red Cell" by Mark Henshaw, rookie CIA officer Kyra Stryker joins the agency's alternative think tank, the Red Cell, after a failed mission in Venezuela. Paired with the unorthodox analyst Jonathan Burke, they investigate China's bold moves toward invading Taiwan without fear of U.S. reprisal. Their investigation hinges on a crucial CIA asset in China, codenamed Pioneer, who is under surveillance. Stryker sees a chance for redemption in extracting Pioneer before his imminent arrest and execution. The information he holds could prevent a global conflict, setting the stage for the Jonathan Burke/Kyra Stryker series.
