Publisher's summary

You were born alone.

You will live alone.

You will die alone.

This is the burden of the assassin.

A master assassin craves one thing above all else: a normal everyday life.

Trained to be a killer from the age of 11, Peter has never known the things the average person takes for granted. He has always been an asset.

Burned by the CIA and now occupying their secret hit list, he works overseas as a Ronin, living a solitary life in hiding.

But someone knows where he is.

A strange man arrives at his door offering Peter the chance of a real life. "Get this done and you can be free," he is told.

All he has to do is complete a three-name kill list in one month. Make it look like a series of unfortunate accidents.

What could be so complicated about that?

Good stuff!

I really enjoyed the first book. As good as the “Victor”the assassin, series by Tom Wood.

I was skeptical- but it was great

I feared it was an orphan x clone, and while there are similarities the author has his own distinct voice. It was a wonderful listen

Skeptical at first, but now a believer!

Hi read both orphan ex, and Victor the assassin books. I was very surprised by the distinct and very individual voice this author has found! I thoroughly enjoyed the book! I was skeptical to buy it at first, but thought what the heck and I am so glad I did. Since I have already finished all Orphan X and Victor, the assassin, I now have a new series to start just in time. I can’t wait to see what he does with Michael!

Strange storyline

Lengthy story setup, but once that was done the action was fast-paced. The stream of bad guys seemed never ending but the hero’s super-human abilities always prevailed. The narrator was outstanding.

A Mix between Orphan X and Jason Bourne

I Enjoyed the characters very much. The narrator was also very good for this character. On to the next book.
