He’s another Thirteen–one who’s already shanghaied a space shuttle, butchered its crew, and left a trail of bodies in his wake on a bloody cross-country spree. All Marsalis has to do is use his superior skills to bring in another fugitive. A new chance at freedom beckons, courtesy of the government. Luckily, his “enhanced” life also seems to be a charmed one. The real question is: can he remain sane–and alive–long enough to succeed? Though it will draw him deep into violence, treachery, corruption, and painful confrontation with himself, anything is better than remaining a prisoner.
