The Executioner on The Trail (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798279004874)

To the world, he is a ghost-a nameless shadow moving through the high-rises of Hong Kong, the slums of Rio, and the boardrooms of London. To his masters, he is Commander Rax-an elite alien warrior surgically altered to look human, stripped of his fur, claws, and pride.

Known simply as "Mikey," he is the ultimate sleeper agent. Guided by the Eye of the Prophet-an advanced AI that predicts global catastrophes-he eliminates human targets before they can destroy the planet. He is a scalpel cutting out the cancer of humanity to save the host.

Or so he believes.

The Mission: A new order arrives with a terrifying classification: Target Omega. The location: Warsaw, Poland. The threat: Global bioterrorism. The target: Maya, an eight-year-old girl.

The Betrayal: The algorithm predicts she will end civilization. But when Mikey tracks her down, his primal instincts-the wolf buried deep beneath the human mask-detect no evil. He smells only innocence. Breaking protocol, Mikey hacks the system and uncovers a galactic conspiracy that shatters his reality. The Kynossians aren't Earth's guardians; they are parasites bleeding the planet dry. And Maya isn't a destroyer-she is the cure.

The War: Now, the hunter becomes the prey. Marked for death by the Baron-the father-figure who created him-and hunted by Earth's ruthless black ops forces, Mikey must stand alone.

Trapped in a crumbling body, armed only with a stolen knife and a chemical rage, the Executioner must make the ultimate choice: Obey the pack and live as a slave, or break the leash and die to save a world that hates him.

A high-octane sci-fi technothriller about identity, sacrifice, and the price of redemption.
