The Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of The Forever War delivers 'a riveting near-future science fiction story of the dangers of living in a surveillance state' (The Tech). Wounded in combat and honorably discharged nine years ago, Jack Daley still suffers nightmares from when he served his country as a sniper, racking up sixteen confirmed kills. Now a struggling author, Jack accepts an offer to write a near-future novel about a serial killer, based on a Hollywood script outline. It s an opportunity to build his writing career and a future with his girlfriend, Kit Majors. But Jack s other talent is also in demand. A package arrives on his doorstep containing a sniper rifle, complete with silencer and ammunition and the first installment of a $100, 000 payment to kill a bad man. The twisted offer is genuine. The people behind it are dangerous. They also prove that they have Jack under surveillance. He can t run. He can t hide. And if he doesn t take the job, Kit will be in the crosshairs instead. '
