Product Description
"...it’s been happening for millennia—many of the Greek legends tell of heroes returning from the underworld imbued with special gifts from the gods. Do you think that’s just a coincidence?"
Tonight was supposed to be Blaise Maitland's last night as a mercenary, but instead, he's being hunted across the top of a towering Superscraper complex still under construction, flagged by Paladin, his own employers, as a candidate for a terrifying and deadly experiment known as the Incarnate Program.
Years after that vicious battle, Maitland is living the normal life he always wanted, but the Incarnate Program is still operational, and new candidates are being abducted from all over the world. Now, their sights are set on Blaise's new flame, Rebecca Bowman.
Realising he can no longer hide, Blaise embarks on a death-defying, international rescue that takes him from the ruins of Wiltshire to a high-speed car chase through San Francisco, ultimately culminating at Paladin's own headquarters—a public building they will happily forsake to destroy him, even if it costs a thousand innocent lives.
**********************************************************
Set in the near future, Origin starts with Australian expatriate career soldier, Blaise Maitland, on his final night working for a global consultancy group which hires out mercenaries and bounty hunters to anybody who can afford their top-level services. Little does he know that he has been selected for the Incarnate Program; a secret experiment with a one-hundred-percent mortality rate. In an epic fight for his life, he is confronted with an unbeatable foe in Alexander Quan, who has been tasked with bringing Maitland in no matter what collateral damage is incurred.
Blaise is about to learn why Quan is such a dangerous adversary...
Featuring fast-paced action, exquisitely choreographed fight sequences, unforgettable characters, advanced weaponry and the most amazing car chase since The Matrix Reloaded, Origin is the perfect read for fans of Cussler, Crichton and Reilly, or avid movie-goers hungry for more action in the style of Wolverine and Iron Man.
It features 15 illustrations including six location maps and a four-page glossary.
