Publisher Description
Deckard Blaine wanted to left alone with his grief, but his draft notice changed that. He had resigned himself to life in Army, but instead of the infantry, he found himself in the infamous Section EX. Subjected to a multitude of twisted sciences, Deckard's very DNA is altered to turn him into a ruthless thief and killer—the ultimate secret agent. Paired with his feline partner, Channelle Kitka, they form Ultra One-Seven, Section EX's most successful stealth retrieval team. After years of service, Deckard and Kitka think they can now quietly fade into the background and live a life of peace. Their past, however, has different plans, and Deckard and Kitka are called out of retirement to track a madman and his super weapon across a fractured United States, into forbidden territories, and ultimately into space in a desperate attempt to avert an EMP attack on the world. Their journey will be fraught with deception and intrigue where their most ardent foes from their Section EX days now turn into allies and they must battle their Section EX brethren to complete the mission. It will take all of Deckard and Kitka's skills as they face their ultimate opponent—a genetic experiment gone terribly wrong—in a savage battle that may be their last.
Customer Reviews
Great read!
An intriguing blend of elements from Raymond Chandler, Lilian Jackson Braun and Anne McCaffrey
Great Book
Amazing book!
Great summer read!
Really enjoyed this book. Great concept that blends a cat as a central character with elements of cyberpunk, film noir, action and suspense. It's set in a sorta alternate American future and follows the travels and travails of man-animal secret-agent type team. Really good character development and an interesting story line with lots of twists. The end doesn't wrap up all the loose ends but there is obviously a sequel planned as the first chapter of the next book is also included. Definitely worth a read.
