Synopsis

Nathan and his companions are free. For now. They're trapped inside the fortress-city of Halsmet, and every mage of Giantsrest is hunting for them.

Luckily enough, they've been found by Faline, the shapeshifting leader of the Assassins of Gemore. She's pledged to teach Nathan her deadly trade. How far will he go to fight the empire of slavers? How much murder is justified?

Even if they manage to win this fight against Giantsrest, it won't be the end of the conflict. A Questor from ages past lurks in the heart of the Ascendent Academy, and he won't allow Giantsrest to suffer a defeat.

It is time for Nathan to face his sworn enemy, to stand against the Ascendent Academy. But how can one person fight an empire of thousands?

About Alexander Olson

Alexander Olson first knew he wanted to be a scientist when his dad taught him how to capture hydrogen gas with foil, batteries, and water. He grew up in Colorado, got his bachelors in chemistry and biology from a small engineering school in Southern California and his PhD in biochemistry from a larger school in Boston. Now he works full-time in science, the closest thing to magic he can achieve in this world.

His love of magic came from escaping into fantastical stories as a child, where he could explore worlds that stretch to the limits of imagination. He first delved into creating his own stories by running multiple tabletop roleplaying games. Eventually he decided to write the story he wanted to read.

Goodreads review by Abibliofob on September 30, 2022

Assassin by David Hagberg is another high speed thriller with a topic that could be current. Is there going to be a coup in Russia? if so will Kirk be a part of it? Well I for one had fun reading this book and will look forward to see what will happen in McGarveys life.......more

Goodreads review by Keith on October 21, 2013

The first half of this book was pretty annoying to me. Everything was so cliche. The main character is an assassin who is aging but is still in great shape and is quite handsome with salt and pepper hair, he is the best assassin in the world and every night he is haunted by the faces of every person......more

Goodreads review by Dan on June 26, 2019

Yevgenni Anatolevich Tarankov, known as the tarantula, is out to turn back the clock in the new Russia and return to the good old days of communism. Ex-CIA officer Kirk McGarvey knows that any chance for Russian democracy rests on his sholders--and on the bullet with the tarantual's name on it. Been......more

Goodreads review by Harold on August 29, 2020

Reasonable read, but just not "up" to five stars. Even my four star rating was a bit of a push... while the book was good, it was more "average".... simply not dynamic enough. The introduction of McGarvey's daughter was promising, but the writing for her part was somehow more routine than exciting.......more

Goodreads review by Nita on January 21, 2022

My first book by David Hagberg but I will definitely be looking for more! I struggled at the beginning with so many Russian names, but once this book heated up, it got HOT and stayed that way to the end. Hagberg's Kirk McGarvey reminded me of Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp. Can't wait to read more from th......more
