    About this ebook

    Episode 5. The Contract: Season 3 - Ethan Gill - The Orpheus Directive

    Orpheus has arranged for Ethan and the unit to be sent to northern Pakistan. Ethan doesn't know they are marked for death, and probably wouldn't care if he did. It's been tried before and he's still around to chuckle about it.

    But he is out of the way, and that's what Orpheus really wants, so Ethan won't be watching his meeting with the beautiful and deadly spy. A spy with a very special proposal. And a contract that will see the world burn.

    There is almost no sand left in the timer, but Ethan and the unit have to survive the ambush Orpheus has set for them. They are the best warriors anywhere, but six against a hundred Taliban is suicidal odds. Odds that are about to get worse.
