Amazing Spider-Man by Nick Spencer Vol. 2: Friends and Foes

Suspense, intrigue and lots of action are packed together in a riveting tale of greed and revenge that's set in the obscure but gas-rich Central Asian Republic of Turkmenistan - Population: 5.1 million, Capital: Ashgabat, and home to billionaire business man Anton Nazarov whose close relatives are dropping dead one by one, for no apparent reason.
Enter American Kevin Bradley, ex-Green Beret turned international trouble-shooter who is hired by Nazarov to help find the killer.
Could a multi-billion dollar gas pipeline project have anything to do with Mr. Nazarov's troubles?
The plot thickens as a new and far more dangerous villain oozes into the picture, with a deadly plan designed to ignite fresh conflict in the Middle East.
Who stands to gain? Could this too be tied to the lucrative pipeline project?
Damsels in distress create extra complications for Bradley as he toggles between his client 's assignment and his personal loyalties.
Diverse characters blend nicely in this fast-paced, well-written work of fiction by first time author Hans Gaskin.
