No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Assassins aren't born, they're programmed.
Sixteen year old Jake Harris wakes up after a horrific car accident to find thirteen years have come and gone. He is twenty-nine years old, a cyborg, and one of the world's most feared assassins. Horrified by the things he has done--things he can't remember--Jake vows never to kill again.
Unfortunately, the company that owns Jake has other plans. They're not about to lose their top hit man to the errant memories of his teenage self. When Jake manages to escape them, they launch a worldwide manhunt that ranges from a near-future New York City to Paris.
Desperate to remain himself, Jake joins a rebel faction dedicated to wresting control of the world's governments from the hands of militarized corporations. Using his enhanced body and perceptions, he is able to aid them in their fight. But Jake doesn't realize the rebels have their own plans for him, ones that involve unleashing his unique talents on their enemies.
Faced with a dark past he can't recall, and uncertain whom he should trust, Jake must come to terms with the sinister choices that molded him into the man he became. Question is, can he avoid doing it all again?
