Scion

Book 1 in an electrifying new series by the NYT #1 bestselling author. Scion is a gripping sci-fiĀ thriller in which a contract killer assigned to protect a scientist from assassination finds himself inĀ the crosshairs

My job, when you think about it, isn’t so different from a lot of people’s.

The old-fashioned crowd do get hung up on the ā€˜killing people’ part of it, I guess, but that’s theirĀ problem: it’s been legal to take out lifers for ages.Ā Besides, once super-rich idiots realised they had a way to live forever—limited resources beĀ damned—there was only one real deterrent.

So, sure, I have to deal with a ton of boring planning. Inconvenient hours. Some awkward
face-to-face interactions. And, like most of us, I’m only clocking on to crawl out from beneath myĀ debts. But someone’s got to do it.Ā Luckily, my genetic compatibilities make me really, really good at doing it.Ā Still. This next job… I don’t know. It’s something I haven’t had to deal with in years. Kind of theĀ opposite of my regular duties. Strange, that it got thrown my way.Ā I’m sure it’ll all go totally fine though.
