Project NEMISYS: A Novel of Assassins, Aliens, Corporate Espionage & Genetic Engineering

by Greever Williams

Corporate espionage can be a cutthroat business. But when the world’s two most successful weapons developers both gain access to an alien lifeform, the rivalry becomes deadly on a global scale.

Grayson Mitchell, a contract killer with a conscience, is looking to get out of the assassination game for good. When Elizabeth Duncott, the CEO of an experimental weapons manufacturer, offers him a lucrative contract to find her missing husband, Frederick, Grayson agrees to turn detective with his sights set on an early retirement.

Elizabeth’s niece, Charlotte Bruce, is an accomplished wildlife biologist content to spend her days shadowing a wolf pack. But when she learns of Frederick’s disappearance, she agrees to return to society and help Grayson, for the sake of her uncle.

But Grayson and Charlotte quickly become something they’ve never been prey.

Using their combined skills, the unlikely duo race against deadly rivals to solve the mystery of Frederick’s disappearance before the sinister truth of Project NEMISYS destroys much more than Grayson’s retirement plans.

If you like the techno-thrillers of Dean Koontz, A.G. Riddle and Raymond Khoury or the dark tension and chills of Scott Sigler, you’ll love the fast-paced contemporary sci-fi thrills of NEMISYS from Greever Williams, author of On Tenterhooks and Dust on the Mound.

[Thibaldo Manrique · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this novel.

Straight forward thriller. Loved it. The main character is an assassin for hire. He has a moral compass, but no illusions about what he does. He gets teamed up with a field researcher, one that studies predators. It's a natural match and the story evolves quite organically. All the twists and turns bring the story to an explosive and, to me, unexpected ending. Very satisfying.
