Rath’s Deception (Janus Group Book One)
Piers Platt
4 Stars
Piers delivers a hell of an outer space action adventure ride with this first book in his Janus Group series.
Rath is a teenager with a secret, a photographic memory that is his and his brother Vonn’s ticket our of the slums of their homeworld of Tarkis. Things go sideways when Vonn is caught double crossing the local drug lord. With Vonn dead, Rath leaves his drugged out parents and takes to the streets. Three years later he is still surviving on his own when he is picked up by a recruiter for the Guild. Rath is offered the deal of a lifetime: be trained as an elite hitman, and when he makes it to fifty kills, he gets fifty percent of the fees collected for his kills.
So Rath goes to work for the Janus Group, but something is wrong. He isn’t a stone cold killer and no one thinks he will last long before getting captured or killed himself.
Can Rath survive his contract and collect a reward that would set him up for life? Or will he fail like so many others before him.
I suggest you pick up this great read and find out for yourself.
