Children of paranoia

"Since the age of eighteen, Joseph has been assassinating people on behalf of a cause that he believes in but doesn't fully understand. The War is ageless, hidden in the shadows, governed by a rigid set of rules, and fought by two distinct sides-one good, one evil. The only unknown is which side is which. Soldiers in the War hide in plain sight, their deeds disguised as accidents or random acts of violence amidst an unsuspecting population ignorant of the brutality that is always inches away. Killing people is the only life Joseph has ever known, and he's one of the best at it. But when a job goes wrong and he's sent away to complete a punishingly dangerous assignment, Joseph meets a girl named Maria, and for the first time in his life his singleminded, bloody purpose fades away. Before Maria, Joseph's only responsibility was dealing death to the anonymous targets fingered by his superiors. Now he must run from the people who have fought by his side to save what he loves most in this world. As "Children of Paranoia" reaches its heart-in-throat climax, Joseph will learn that only one rule remains immutable: the only thing more dangerous than fighting the War...is leaving it."--Jacket.

  • "In einer Welt, in der es nur drei Regeln gibt und jeder ein tödlicher Feind sein könnte, kämpft eine Liebe ums Überleben Seit er 18 Jahre alt ist, ist Joseph ein Killer. Ein Anruf genügt, und Joseph nimmt die Verfolgung auf. Warum er das tut, kann er nicht sagen. Er weiss nur, dass ein unerbittlicher Kampf zwischen zwei verfeindeten Gruppen entbrannt ist - und dass er auf der Seite der Guten steht, für die er aus tiefster Überzeugung kämpft. Nur wer zuerst tötet, wird überleben, denn der Gegner lauert überall, und jeder, der seinen Weg kreuzt, kann sein Mörder sein. Lange Zeit geht alles gut, doch dann gerät er an einem einsamen Strand in New Jersey in einen Hinterhalt, der ihn beinahe das Leben kostet. In letzter Sekunde kann er entkommen und flieht nach Kanada, wo ihm allerdings ein verhängnisvoller Fehler unterläuft: Er begegnet Maria und verliebt sich unsterblich in sie. Doch damit verstösst er gegen ein ehernes Gesetz, und die gnadenlose Rache seiner Feinde ist ihm sicher ... Trevor Shane studierte am Columbia College und am Georgetown Law Center, arbeitete lange Zeit als Berater für einen grossen international tätigen Finanzkonzern und lebt heute in Brooklyn, New York."
