This book wasn't what I expected it to be, I'm not sure whether that is a good or bad thing. When I heard assassin I immediately thought about Assassin's Creed, I'm sure that's because I'm so young and I have never read anything else about assassins. Cameron Clark was more of a war like assassin, at first and then he became a personal assassin.
He started off being an assassin in the military, not a bad job, at least I would think so. Apparently he wasn't so keen on it because he wanted out. Then when he got out he killed people rich people wanted dead. I guess there's more money that way but less pride.
He grew up in a dysfunctional family, he hated his dad and the feeling was mutual. That brought on his love to kill, he started by killing small animals, then went to killing wild game and now people. He finds enjoyment by killing- psycho.
There was a lot of violence in this book and violence doesn't bother me but there was just something about this book. I don't think I would have chosen this book for myself. It took a really long time for it to get my attention and it failed to hold it for very long. I'm not saying it's a bad book, in fact it was well written. I'm just saying this book wasn't for me.
Stuart Garrison, a brilliant virtual reality software developer, has his company poised on the threshold of industry dominance with the release of his newest virtual reality system—Next World. Among his competitors is Preston McBraid, the cutthroat CEO of a rival company. McBraid realizes that if he does not own Next World, his company is bound to lose its premier position atop the computer industry.
Driven by desperation and greed, McBraid hires the notorious Nomed, a highly sought-after assassin who commands millions to kill a target. The FBI learns of the assassination plot and intervenes to protect Stuart. He in turn quickly augments the FBI team, hiring two security specialists as additional defense: a monster of a man, nicknamed Superman—and Alex Nichols, an expert in the field of security. Stuart clings desperately to the hope that he can make it though the onslaught of Nomed’s assassination attempts. If he does, his next ingenious virtual reality product—Mind Games—will blow the world away with its originality and staggering mass appeal, and catapult Stuart to the top of the computer industry as its reigning czar, and make him a billionaire many times over.
In this gripping suspense thriller, the wannabe czar of the computer industry is unwittingly catapulted into a deadly cat-and-mouse game against the infamous Nomed, and only time will tell who is clever enough to survive.
