Forsaken Assassin: A Near Future Thriller (Jack Voss, Book 1) (Unabridged‪)‬

In a world of deception, uncovering the truth could be lethal.

But this assassin has nothing to lose.

Once a legendary mixed martial arts champion, he walked away from it all without a word. But when a cryptic package arrives from the mother who left him long ago, Jack is thrust into a dangerous web of secret government agencies, rogue mercenaries, and corrupt tech moguls—all battling for control of a deadly conspiracy that threatens the future of humanity.

As the truth unravels, Jack discovers that clandestine combat has evolved beyond anything he’s ever faced. Cloaking devices, AI-driven weapons, and robotic enforcers have replaced fists and bullets. To survive, Jack must adapt—fast.

But with the line between friend and enemy blurred, and time running out, one thing is clear: in this war for the truth, only the strongest will survive.

Jack Voss thought he’d left the fight behind. He was wrong.

If you enjoy stories full of Crichtonesque suspense, assassins, science-driven mysteries, and pulp edge-of-your-seat action then this sci-fi thriller is for you.
