The Murderers

by Erik D. Harshman

"The Murderers" concerns a former Kremlin assassin who, with the decommissioned armory of the former Soviet Union at his disposal, seeks to rid the world’s infrastructures of corruption and treachery with the help of two nameless comrades.
After witnessing the corruption and socio-political pollution that resulted from Russia’s perversion of Communism, a former Kremlin assassin (referred to simply as The Russian) sets out to rid the modern world of its malfeasance. The Russian is joined by two anonymous men, known only as The Slovakian and The Ukrainian, who assist him in pinpointing and eliminating the targets of his unique brand of (counter-) terrorism.
