Upon learning that this novel is book one, I had hoped that I could either buy or win the series and I held off, but I was intrigued with book one and so I decided to read it. I stayed up most of the night as I just couldn't stop reading and I just HAVE to finish the series no matter hat it takes. The author's fresh take a "SUPER GUN AND BULLET that can be guided to: assassinate a target just gave me chills, and I immediately thought of the movie that had aa person's NAME on it and it wizzed by many people to hit the intended target every time!! Supposedly, developed by America, this secret was used to killed two high profile figures with three playing a dangerous game with police all! over Europe that took them on a deadly hunt always a step behind.

This book is fantastic! The characters are so real and compelling that it is difficult to put the book down. The author takes you on a journey full of joy, sorrow, and personal growth that is at once fulfilling and inspiring. I strongly recommend this book to anyone. (

Epigraph

Dedication

The nature of this book, the very way I held it in my heart---planning it, dreaming about it, talking about it, and nearly living it years before conception---gives me a need for a special dedication. This book is dedicated to my 18-year marriage to Bob Wick. No one in my life has portrayed Christ to me more strongly than he has.

This one is for us, Robert.

May the next 18 years be as sweet as the last.

First words
