87. Rewriting Everything Reveals Your Insecurities About Everything

Synopsis

The newest thriller in the #1 New York Times, #1 Wall Street Journal, and #1 Publishers Weekly bestselling series! Across Europe, a secret organization has begun attacking diplomats. Back in the United States, a foreign ally demands the identity of a highly placed covert asset. In the balance hang the ingredients for all-out war. With his mentor out of the game, counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath must take on the role he has spent his career avoiding. But, as with everything else he does, he intends to rewrite the rules—all of them. In Spymaster, Scot Harvath is more cunning, more dangerous, and deadlier than ever before. If you have never read a Brad Thor novel, this is the place to start!

I wonder why he had to rewrite the rules. When you're the government official, you can't change rules easily. You need to undergo through several steps so all parties involved are at least informed and well aware of the situations. Otherwise you'll confuse people, confuse the civilians and you'll fail to maintain order. Take for example you're an FBI agent. You can't change traffic lights because you want to chase some bad guys. You need authorisation from your supervisor, the police officer at the area, the civilians so they won't do anything to jeopardise your mission and / or harm themselves. Let's say you're a staff at the Ministry of Education and you want to change how children should be educated in your country. Maybe you want to add self-protection subject so your country could have less criminal incidents report. Then, you want to change English subject to Communication subject. Then, you want to combine Math and Physics to Left-Brain Development subject. I know this is absurd but can you imagine the massive impact?
