The Pawn Directive J J Carlson

In the near-future, the world's best assassins aren't trained, they're built.

A ruthless terrorist is hiding in Jammu and Kashmir, fueling the fires of conflict between India and Pakistan. Shane Bishop, a CIA operative equipped with next-generation biomechanical implants, is sent in to assassinate him. Alone.

Bishop does what he was built to do, killing everyone in his path with mechanical efficiency. But as he delves deeper into the terrorist's lair, he discovers something he never expected, and his own implants turn against him. He awakens covered in blood, having no memory of what went wrong.

His handler assures him that the mission was a complete success, and the memory loss is nothing but an unfortunate side-effect of his implants. But as he begins the long journey home, an outsider hacks into his communications and reveals a dark secret.

"You aren't working for the CIA. And you never have."

For years, he's been told that he alone can stop the imminent threats of nuclear war, cyber terrorism, and biological warfare. But as he sinks deeper into a world of deception, he begins to question everything. Even reality itself.

The Pawn Directive is a lean, tightly-plotted, hard-hitting novella-a thrill ride without mercy. Click Buy Now to join the adventure.
