CHILDREN OF PARANOIA

Author Book List

ALL WARS HAVE RULES

Rule Number One: No killing innocent bystanders.

Rule Number Two: No killing anyone under the age of
eighteen.

BREAK THE RULES, BECOME THE TARGET

Since the age of eighteen, Joseph has been assassinating
people on behalf of a cause that he believes in but doesn't
fully understand. The War is ageless, hidden in the shadows,
governed by a rigid set of rules, and fought by two distinct
sides-one good, one evil. The only unknown is which side is
which. Soldiers in the War hide in plain sight, their deeds
disguised as accidents or random acts of violence amidst an
unsuspecting population ignorant of the brutality that is
always inches away.

Killing people is the only life Joseph has ever known, and
he's one of the best at it. But when a job goes wrong and
he's sent away to complete a punishingly dangerous
assignment, Joseph meets a girl named Maria, and for the
first time in his life his singleminded, bloody purpose
fades away.

Before Maria, Joseph's only responsibility was dealing death
to the anonymous targets fingered by his superiors. Now he
must run from the people who have fought by his side to save
what he loves most in this world. As Children of Paranoia
reaches its heart-in-throat climax, Joseph will learn that
only one rule remains immutable: the only thing more
dangerous than fighting the War...is leaving it.
