It is 1995, and intelligence operative Lora Chandler, a.k.a. Agent Vogel, is tasked with investigating the claim that Professor Simon Blackmarr has cracked the invisibility problem. A mission that leads her back to the half-forgotten beach town of Lancaster, Florida. Home to estranged love interest, and newspaper reporter Richard Davis.
Her feelings for him have never really died, and matters become even more complicated when Vogel learns that Blackmarr's breakthrough is legitimate. A scientific discovery that —in the wrong hands — could alter the balance of global power. The stakes become even higher when the professor is abducted from the university, forcing Vogel back into the shadowy realm of espionage to find out who and why. It will take all the skill and cunning Lora Chandler possesses to stop a threat that could have devastating consequences for her personal life — and the world at large.

Excerpt from Line of Sight
The file lay in easy reach, on the conference table. The letters LMAR printed across the front. In another moment she would have it. She reached out.
“I think not.”
Mason. He was like a cat, with more lives.
“You think wrong,” said Vogel.
Mason’s hand slammed down on the folder, inches from hers. Their eyes met—his with that same arrogant smirk she’d seen a hundred times before, his dark hair perfectly in place. As always, he was impeccably dressed, his wine-red tie in a flawless knot. Vogel couldn’t deny it—under different circumstances, she might . . . But no, he was an international criminal and a murderer. And he kissed like a college freshman. The lines were drawn.
Mason looked at her through steely eyes. “Vogel,” he said coolly, “why do we always seem to have this same discussion?”
Vogel smirked. “Because, Mason, you’re terrible at losing.”
Mason nodded. “A character flaw, I’m afraid, that is permanent.”
She snatched the file away as Mason lunged for her. Instinctively, her hand went for her gun, and she pointed the sleek black barrel directly at his head. He froze, a smile playing across his face.
“Now let’s be practical,” Mason said. “There’s no way out.”
“You always say that.”
A door opened and men in dark fatigues entered, holding assault rifles. Mason’s henchmen. She should have known. They stood on either side of him, with their weapons trained on her like spiders. Vogel counted six in all.
Mason eyed her. “Really, Vogel. I mean, what are your options? Why don’t you just hand that over and we can all sit down?”
A bead of sweat ran down her back. Her shoes were tight, and she hadn’t showered since Wednesday. She felt gross. This was taking longer than expected. They were on the thirtieth floor, standing in front of a series of plate glass windows. Mason was right. There was no way out.
It was then she heard the roar of the helicopter.

Guest Post by the Author of Line of Sight
Why Line of Sight Should Be Your Next Thrilling Read
What if an invention could make someone invisible—turning them into the ultimate weapon? And what if that invention fell into the wrong hands?
In Line of Sight, my latest novel, intelligence operative Lora Chandler, aka Agent Vogel, is thrust into a race against time when a groundbreaking invisibility formula is stolen. The invention’s immense potential for both good and harm places it at the center of a global conspiracy. As Lora confronts betrayal and heartbreak, she must stop a shadowy organization from using the formula to ignite chaos—and find a way to come out alive.
But Line of Sight isn’t just about action. It’s also a deeply personal story about resilience, trust, and the gray areas that define both our choices and relationships. Here’s why I think it’s a must-read for anyone who loves a gripping, character-driven thriller:
A Unique Blend of Espionage and Science
At its core, Line of Sight is a spy thriller, but it offers a unique twist: the invisibility formula at the heart of the story. This groundbreaking invention isn’t just a convenient plot device—it’s a game-changer that raises the stakes and fuels the narrative’s tension.
Imagine the possibilities:
- Invisible assassins targeting world leaders.
- Entire nations plunged into chaos.
- A lone agent tasked with stopping it all.
This fusion of cutting-edge science and classic espionage delivers an experience that’s fresh, thrilling, and thought-provoking.
Malachai: A Villain with Vision
Every great thriller needs a compelling antagonist, and Malachai is as sinister as they come. The enigmatic leader of ION—a shadowy organization with global aspirations—Malachai plans to use the invisibility formula to reshape the world. His goal? To assassinate national leaders, destabilize governments, and create a new global order under his control.
What makes Malachai particularly chilling is his charisma and unflinching belief in his vision. He’s not a cartoon villain; he’s a calculating mastermind who believes the ends justify the means. Malachai’s schemes push Lora to her limits, forcing her to question not only her mission but also her own moral compass.
High-Stakes Action That Keeps You Guessing
From a daring helicopter escape to a final, harrowing face-off, Line of Sight is packed with adrenaline-pumping moments. The story’s relentless pace and unexpected twists will keep you on the edge of your seat.
But it’s not just about explosions and chases. The invisible threat forces Lora—and the reader—to grapple with deeper questions: Who can she trust? What’s real? And how far will she go to protect the people she loves?
A Cast of Complex, Relatable Characters
At the heart of Line of Sight is Lora Chandler, a spy who is as formidable as she is flawed. Her sharp instincts and unrelenting dedication to duty make her a force to be reckoned with. But it’s her vulnerabilities—her strained relationship with journalist Richard Davis and her doubts about her choices—that make her human.
Supporting her is a rich cast of characters, each with their own motives:
- Richard Davis, the steadfast journalist who challenges Lora to confront her personal demons.
- Shade, a rogue operative whose shifting loyalties add layers of intrigue.
- Mason, a charismatic international criminal who walks the line between ally and adversary.
These characters bring depth and heart to a story that’s as much about relationships and trust as it is about espionage.
Themes That Resonate Beyond the Page
Line of Sight explores timeless questions that resonate deeply with all of us:
- How do we balance personal relationships with professional obligations?
- What happens when the lines between right and wrong blur?
- Can redemption ever truly be earned?
While the action and intrigue will keep you turning the pages, it’s the themes that will stay with you long after you’ve finished the book.
Inspired by the Classics, Written for Today
If you’re a fan of Mission: Impossible or James Bond, or if you’ve ever been captivated by H.G. Wells’ The Invisible Man, Line of Sight is the perfect addition to your bookshelf. But it’s not just a homage to classic thrillers. It’s a modern story that tackles contemporary issues with nuance and heart.
Don’t Miss the Adventure!
Line of Sight is more than just a spy thriller—it’s an emotional journey filled with suspense, humor, and heart. Whether you’re a fan of high-stakes action, complex characters, or thought-provoking stories, this book has something for you!

Congratulations on your book.
[…] Line of Sight by Paul G. Wright […]
What does your writing process involve?
That's a great question. It's fairly straightforward. Once I have nailed down the idea, I will go through a series of questions that help me figure out what the story is really about. Things like: 'What does the character need?' and so forth. After that I will create an outline, and finally start on page one. These things are all academic, however, as the story evolves once I get into it, but they do give me guidelines. Places to go to when I get stuck, or feel things may be drifting a bit. I hope that answers your question, and happy reading! : )
Looks captivating
