In March of 2002, while the eyes of the world focused on Afghanistan, Jack Noble finds himself on the outskirts of Baghdad, Iraq. A Marine in name only, Jack is on loan to the CIA. Normally an integral part of the team, he finds that he is nothing more than a security detail in Iraq.
Jack and his partner Bear have a run-in with four CIA special agents over the treatment of an Iraqi family. Within hours Jack and Bear are detained.
All Jack wanted was to finish his enlistment and move on with his life. All he did was intervene and save a family from unwarranted violence at the hands of four CIA agents. But he soon discovers that he did far more than intervene. He has placed himself dead square in the middle of a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of the US government.
This fast-paced political crime thriller by USA Today best-selling author L.T. Ryan will leave you burning through the minutes as Jack races to stop the conspiracy before it claims his life. Fans of Jack Reacher, Mitch Rapp, and Jason Bourne should enjoy Jack Noble.

I highy recommend this book, and the series! I started reading one of the Noble Intentions series books, discovering quickly that there must be prequels.

I’m glad I did, and this book, Noble Beginnings, was the first.This book firmly establishes who what Jack Noble is all about. It makes it clear early on, that Jack is the fearless protagonist.The book is well-written, and enjoyable…
If it’s action you want, this book is perfect This was my first Jack Noble book. I got almost a third of the way through the audible book when I heard the bad guy call up Jack and tell him, “You’re going down. You’re gonna be dead, dead as a door nail.” I just couldn’t believe anyone would put that cliche in a modern action-packed book. I listened more closely to the car chases, dialogue and rogue behavior from Jack (seemingly just because he felt like beating people up in a variety of ways}. This was Mission Impossible, Jason…
