Fiction. Science Fiction. HTML:A cyborg assassin opts to saveâ??not takeâ??her target's life, in this post-apocalyptic adventure by the author of Afterwar and the Dante Valentine series.
Her name is unimportant. She is her job: a liquidator. Deep in debt for cyborg modifications, the agent eliminates whatever target she's given. It's a relatively simple jobâ??until now. Her latest assignment is to kill a child, and she can't refuseâ??because refusal means Dismissal, a fate worse than death.
Instead, the operative smuggles her target out of the city, away from his corporate caretakers. But little Geoff is a gifted, genetically engineered, profitable experiment, and everyoneâ??bounty hunters, fellow cyborgs, brain-fried cannibals, and other monstersâ??is desperate to get their hands on him.
The agent may be practically indestructible, but she's about to test her limits.
