Nemesis Country by Yaniv Ovadia

Nemesis Country

One man. One city under siege. One chance to save the woman he loves in Israel after October 7th.

When ex-Israeli military officer Oren Mizrahi is released from prison after a mission gone wrong, he returns home to a country on the brink. Terrorist cells have taken control of Jaffa alongside all the other Arab cities in Israel, turning the once-vibrant city into a sealed-off war zone. The police are powerless. The military won’t act. And Oren’s past is about to catch up with him—fast.

It isn’t long before images from the occupied city begin to pop up online. Among them, one nerve-racking video in particular catches Oren’s attention—Christina, his former Palestinian sex surrogate, has been kidnapped by insurgents and is being held deep inside the city. With no one willing to step in, Oren goes rogue, crossing into enemy territory to bring her back.

But the deeper he goes, the more he uncovers a country on the edge of collapse, and a new enemy with old scores to settle, on a mission that will push him past every limit.

Because for Oren and his nemesis, it’s not just a rescue. It’s a reckoning.

Nemesis Country is a gritty, high-stakes military thriller about betrayal, redemption, and a one-man mission through a country that’s already lost. Perfect for fans of Mark Greaney, Jack Carr, and Vince Flynn.
