“An incredible new voice in sci-fi. The kind of writer who keeps you turning the pages long into the night.”—A.G. Riddle, bestselling author of The Atlantis Gene and Pandemic

Ready Player One meets Gladiator in this high-octane thriller that mixes black-ops espionage with fight-to-the-death combat in the arena.

In the near future, the line between entertainment and brutality has blurred. Mysterious billionaire Cameron Crayton is a household name from televised spectacles in which prison inmates fight to the death, but his old shows pale in comparison to his new event, The Crucible, a gladiatorial tournament anyone can enter. The winner is promised unimaginable wealth and glory . . . if they’re able to survive a series of globally broadcast fight-to-the-death matches with medieval weaponry against the world’s most fearsome fighters.

Former black-ops operative Mark Wei wants nothing more than to be left alone to drink after sacrificing everything?including his family?in America’s covert Cold War II against China, a war won largely because of him. But there are rumors that Crayton’s background and business dealings involve shady connections to foreign powers, and soon Mark is convinced to reluctantly dust off his training, strap on a sword and armor, and enter the tournament arena as an undercover agent.

It’s the most dangerous assignment he’s ever been given, and Mark quickly finds himself not just fighting for his life in the arena against trained killers, but racing to expose The Crucible’s founder’s secrets while navigating a viral phenomenon in which the stakes are literally life and death. . . .

In 2045, the Crucible is going global. The televised gladiator tournament is celebrating its tenth anniversary, the wounds of the bombing of the Vegas Colosseum all but healed. Mark Wei, the ex-CIA operative and Year One winner, hasn’t been seen in the decade since the attack. Cameron Crayton, the media mogul running the tournament, has rebuilt, and crowned eight new winners since. Now he’s expanding his search in a sprawling, worldwide tournament, the Crucible stretching beyond the borders of the US for the first time.

Violet is the pride of Project Embryo, China’s covert ops program to create sleeper agents by training killers from birth. Awaiting her first infiltration mission in the US after turning eighteen, she’s stunned when Commander Zhou sends her to fight in Crayton’s new tournament. The goal? To reclaim some measure of glory for a fractured China after America tore it apart in the second Cold War. Win the tournament and become a symbol of a nation reborn.

But to claim victory, Violet will have to make her way through giants, monsters and murderers. Russian mobsters, South African warlords, fanatical American cult leaders. And the third sister of a storied Crucible family who has been fighting since Year One. Out of the arena, she’s hearing whispers about Mark Wei, and his story seems to haunt her in ways she doesn’t fully understand. Violet must discover the truth about her mission, and herself.

More About the Author
Paul Tassi
Biography

After years of consuming science fiction through a steady diet of books, movies, TV shows, and video games, Paul Tassi eventually decided to write his own stories in the genre. He didn't imagine he'd ever actually finish a single book, but now that he's started writing, he doesn't want to stop.

So far, Paul has completed The Earthborn Trilogy, a sci-fi series about a ruined Earth, and how humanity survives in the stars thereafter. His latest books are Herokiller and Herokiller 2, spy thrillers about a harrowing gladiatorial tournament in the near-future.

Paul lives in Cincinnati with his beautiful and supportive wife. He writes for Forbes and it's a slow day if he's written less than 10,000 words.

Having someone, anyone read his stories has been an incredible experience, and Paul is extremely grateful for all the support he's received regarding his work so far.
