Description
Open your eyes. See the truth. Make a choice.
Nearly 30 years ago, the PEACE Project rose from the ruins of a global war to take power over a new America. Providing stability in exchange for absolute authority, the project controls every aspect of citizens’ lives through each of its five units:
Protect
Enforce
Advance
Control
Eliminate.
Raised in the Project since infancy, 18-year-old Zira has been trained as an assassin under the stern guidance of unit E-2’s Chairman Ryku. After she makes a careless mistake on an assignment, the chairman partners her with Jared, the best operative in her unit. Their partnership transforms into friendship as they work together and learn to rely on each other.
But when misinformation causes a solo mission to backfire, Zira’s deepest loyalties and strongest relationships are tested in a place where even a hint of doubt can be perceived as treason. The life she knows is falling apart, and nothing will ever look the same again.
Jerry Harkey –
This is not a very realistic “action” adventure set in a dystopian future society run by the authoritarian PEACE Project. Our 18-year-old female protagonist is naive and immature, and not a very good fighter. Yet, she is assigned missions to kill “dissidents” of the Project. After teaming up with an older male partner, a romance ensues. When she’s sent on a solo mission and things go very terribly wrong, she’s exposed to “truths” from which she just cannot come back. Now on the run from the Project, we’re set up for Book 2. I rec’d Books 1 & 2 free from Audiobooks Unleashed, I’m just not excited to start book 2.
