A emotionally damaged ex-government assassin suffering from amnesia is torn from the new life he has made for himself and drawn back into a world he'd hoped to never revisit when he is framed for the grisly death of his best friend and mentor. Drawn unwillingly back into kill-or-be-killed savagry that is modern terrorism he searches for the source of evil that threatens his very existence. Relying on half-remembered skills and a mental toughness unknown to most he hopscotches across Europe and Scandinavia to attack and destroy those who made the mistake of trying to destroy him. Mistakenly marked for death by his own government, he eventually saves the life of the official who signed his death warrant - the President of the United States. | ||
