Assassin

by Pete Bevan

Martins skills as an ageing Assassin have allowed him to cut himself off from society and live a comfortable, and austere life, free from the dark memories of his past. When his age betrays him on an important contract he finds himself injured and alone in the Zombie Apocalypse. What follows is a desperate race for survival through the chaos of London falling apart. Can his failing skills keep him alive? Will he betray, or be betrayed by the disparate group of survivors he teams up with? As the sanctuary they find becomes an metaphor for our times he is pushed to his limits. Will he become something more human than a hired killer, or seek cold hearted revenge on the brutal Colonel who has torn his group apart?A 40,000 word novella in 5 acts.Comments on Assassin Parts 1 and 2Nice! Very fast paced in all the right places!Comment by RetrobuckSo when is the movie of this coming out? I like the realism in the sense of confusion, of no one really having a grip on what the XXXX is going on.Comment by T.J. McFaddenThe story was and is brilliant.
