Fallout - Paperback

Some mistakes you never stop paying for. For former assassin Brent Savage, that price has just become his life.

Six months ago, he brought down the Darkwater Program, exposing a corrupt president and a conspiracy of state-sanctioned murder. It was a victory forged in blood and fire-one that should have earned him his freedom. Instead, it left him longing for a life he can't have and chained to a past he can't escape.

Now, a new president has taken power, unleashing a deadly breed of cybernetic assassin-hunters to take out every last Darkwater operative. They're faster, stronger, and more lethal than Savage ever was-and if they discover he's still alive, they'll stop at nothing to eliminate him...this time for good.

But Savage isn't hiding. Deep in the scrub desert of West Texas, he's on a personal mission to track down former president Turner-the man who ordered the assassinations of innocent civilians-and deliver his own brand of justice. The operation goes sideways when Savage is poisoned by a lethal dose of neurotoxin. Now, his genetic modifications and nanobots are the only things keeping him alive...but even they are beginning to fail.

With time running out and the assassin-hunters closing in, Savage realizes the most terrifying truth of all: they won't just come for him. They'll come for the woman he left behind.

And if there's one mistake he won't allow himself to repeat, it's losing her again.
