    About this ebook

    Peter Baird is running for his life. Skillfully manipulated and played for a patsy, he has become an assassin--public enemy number one: the man who shot the President of the United States. Now abandoned and on his own, he has but one chance to save his brother and rescue his country:

    He must join forces with the man he hates the most--Grant Collins, the mysterious commander of the New York militia. The problem is he has no idea where to find the man.

    Peter sets himself on a quest: find the militia and convince Grant to mount a rescue and save his brother from certain death. But will the price of liberty come at the cost of his soul?

      A Year in Reading: Ismail Muhammad

      Dec 10, 2017
