CHILDREN OF PARANOIA by Trevor Shane - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOK
ALL WARS HAVE RULES
Rule Number One: No killing innocent bystanders.
Rule Number Two: No killing anyone under the age of eighteen.
BREAK THE RULES, BECOME THE TARGET
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.
