About this listen
Michael Dolan is a stoic perfectionist and former combat pilot with a dark and labyrinthine psyche and troubled past. While working a staff job at the Pentagon he is approached by the Central Intelligence Agency with an improbable request—to help them forestall impending terror attacks in Europe. He agrees and is sent undercover to Paris, France. He quickly takes to the task of infiltrating a terrorist cell by rekindling an old friendship and passing on what he learns. As his deep-cover role in Operation Excise plays out, however, Dolan's past begins to catch up with him. With no one to trust and the enemy closing in, he must choose whether to follow orders in the face of failure, or to go it alone.
Fans of Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Identity will appreciate the internecine struggle and cryptic complexity of the protagonist, as will fans of Tom Clancy’s Patriot Games, who appreciate a pause-resister about an unlikely spy thrust into adversity, only to emerge the strongest and most capable of them all. Devolution is book one of The Devolution Trilogy, a psychological spy thriller series. Evolution and Revelation are books two and three.

“Like a chess Grandmaster, Casey sets up the narrative and then all of a sudden, boom! Michael Dolan commands an incredible array of talents as he deals with international terrorist, foreign agents, and US Government bureaucracies. His main adversary, however, and the most difficult to prevail against could very well be himself.” (US Ambassador Luis Moreno, assisted in the pursuit of Pablo Escobar and led implementation of Plan Colombia)
“Casey’s frank and realistic interplay among the principals draws you into a complicated plot about believable challenges, both in the field and inside the walls of counterintelligence operations. His craftsmanship is evident as the plot progresses until the tension becomes too fervent to put aside.” (James White, author of Borders in Paradise)
“Those seeking a seat-of-your-pants thriller will find Devolution a fine story that is riveting and hard to put down.” (Midwest Book Review)
