“You are free to go to your mosque, temples and churches,” was the refrain when Pakistan was born in 1947, but that all changed after the first Afghan war when Pakistan was plunged into a sectarian and extremist battleground. It all changed again when Karachi was set ablaze by gangland violence that forced a hapless government to take direction from the powerful Pakistan Army.
From the crowded streets of Karachi to the barren plains of the lawless tribal region, a boy transforms himself from an average man into a precision soldier and superior intelligence operative bringing the fight to the Taliban’s backyard. Kamal Khan, born and raised in the conflict ridden tribal area, forfeits his wealthy industrialist family background to serve his nation in a war that will define Pakistan’s future.
The cold adrenaline, the fear of the unknown, the shadowy hands, and the cunning that surpasses a Sicilian mind... the game of espionage in South Asia comes to life in Agency Rules, the spy thriller that takes the battle to the Taliban in Pakistan.
Sometimes intelligence gathered is kept from the politicians because of trust issues.

This is routine activity for the intelligence services to identify those who are involved in anti-state activities. We are not formally calling them anti-state, but we do know these people now.”
