Science Fiction
A near-future thriller where those who protect humanity
are
not always completely human. The future is a dangerous place. Keeping the world stable
and peaceful when competing corporate interests and
nation-states battle for power, wealth, and prestige has
only gotten harder over the years. But that’s the United
Nations’ job. So the UN has changed along with the rest of
the world. When the UN’s “soft” diplomacy fails, it has
harder options. Quiet, scalpel-like options: The
Dead—biologically enhanced secret operatives created by
the
UN to solve the problems no one else can. Anwar Abbas is one of The Dead. When the Controller-
General
of the UN asks him to perform a simple bodyguard mission,
he’s insulted and resentful: mere bodyguard work is a
waste
of his unique abilities. But he takes the job, because to
refuse it would be unthinkable. Anwar is asked to protect Olivia del Sarto, the host of an
important upcoming UN conference. Olivia is head of the
world’s fastest-growing church, but in her rise to power
she
has made enemies: shadowy enemies with apparently
limitless
resources. Anwar is one of the deadliest people on earth, but her
enemies have something which kills people like him. And
they’ve sent it for her. It’s out there, unstoppable and
untraceable, getting closer as the conference approaches. As he and Olivia ignite a torrid affair, Anwar must
uncover
the conspiracy that threatens to destroy her, the UN, and
even The Dead.
