Kill Code

The next BRAND NEW edge-of-your-seat action thriller from author of Wolf Six. , Alex Shaw 'A gritty, action packed adrenaline rush. ' - Alan McDermott. Taking a life isn't hard, when you've already given your own. Ruslan Akulov, the legendary Ukrainian assassin known as Wolf Six, wakes to find the plane he's on plummeting, and with no real memory of how he got there. Surviving the crash, only to be detained by a small-town sheriff and accused of two murders, that for once he didn't commit, Akulov must piece together the fragments of his concussed memory to understand how his last mission in Canada as a black asset for the CIA went so catastrophically wrong. Yet far darker forces are hunting him. A growing number of relentless adversaries including Triads baying for his blood, and the mysterious organisation known only as the 'Syndicate', determined to keep the truth buried. With danger closing in, Akulov is alone on a sea of deceit and betrayal, and when Martin Basson, Akulov's former colleague turned nemesis, enters the fray, Wolf Six is forced to fight his darkest fears, and the trained French assassin hell bent on destroying him.
