A HIGH-TECH ASSASSIN QUESTIONS HIS MEMORIES AND LAUNCHES THE MESSIEST BLOODBATH OF HIS CAREER.
Assassin Hunter || Book 1
When a high-tech assassin is captured by a lithe little teen and her thugs, Vaya Sage questions his memories and launches the messiest blood bath of his career. But will the reality he unravels be less believable than memories he never questioned?
Although short, this novella packs a punch as it explores the inevitable challenges of a futuristic world where memory implants, memory erasures, and maybe even magic are a reality.
Action packed with carefully researched …
WHEN INVISIBILITY IS INSUFFICIENT, HE HIDES IN PLAIN SIGHT
Soul Hunter || Book 2
Told from Darkmind’s perspective, Vaya Sage finds himself in a lethal game of wits while still disoriented from a black market brain scan.
While Darkmind reviews memories from previous bodies, Vaya Sage must determine whether or not to confront Darkmind. If he does, he risks mental enslavement – if he doesn’t, he may destroy everything he’s fought for.
Darkmind threatens to take over Vaya Sage’s consciousness ... was he never anything more than an elaborate puppet?
Assassin Hunter || Book 3
As Darkmind threatens to take over Vaya Sage’s consciousness, the assassin considers suicide to rid the world of this threatening evil — all while engaging in a lethal shootout with the Dark Uzzit.
When the dust settles, Vaya Sage discovers that Darkmind has been driving his decisions ever since the Treiliki hit. Had he been nothing more than an elaborate puppet in Darkmind’s macabre theater?
Even his desire to retire as an assassin proves to be part of Darkmind’s plan. Vaya Sage would do it anyway — just to forget what he’d done to Midi Ella and other innocents but it turns out his role involves far more than curbing the pace of human trafficking. The stakes are much higher than he’d ever imagined and a bizarre development may actually give him the upper hand for a change.
Once again, reality is far less believable than memory implants ever hoped to be.
