Judging by the Cover Tuesday

[snowynight]

Rules:

1. Search the web for the cutest cover you come across, ideally an unreleased book
2. Don’t read the synopsis
3. Try to guess what the book is about
4. Read the synopsis and see how close you came

My guess:
Bond-que psionic agents' new mission: to steal a machine that can convert anyone. Then they discover that said machine is actually a living brain. Is it an inhumane experiment or a mad scientist's way of ascension?

Actual Summary

Welcome to the Strip, where operatives on the fringe command teams of ‘Cards’: Agents cursed with subtle, specialized, and sometimes sloppy psychic powers. Dr Ken Park, Korean-American psychologist and spy, dares to lead six of these Cards. Together, they tackle esoteric threats the Department of Homeland Security cannot.

Park takes his team to Africa to retrieve the Faith Machine. Built by the Soviets to turn prayers into suffering, the psychotronic device fell into the hands of a demented warlord. Tragically, the mission fails and the madman slaughters hundreds of innocents while the machine burns.

They return to the States in disgrace, and into an ambush by the mysterious and brutal Casemen. Cut off from command and each other, the scattered agents rush to their safe house in the west. While spy agencies from around the world want retribution for the catastrophe in Africa. Park’s team outplays enemies left and right, while uncovering the true threat. There’s another Faith Machine, one destined to bring hell on earth

My thought:
The premise sounds interesting, before I read this review

Spoiler

Sex crime as humour

is a big no to me.
