Burden of the Assassin

Peter Black, Book 1

You were born alone.

You will live alone.

You will die alone.

This is the burden of the assassin.

A master assassin craves one thing above all else: a normal everyday life.

Trained to be a killer from the age of 11, Peter has never known the things the average person takes for granted. He has always been an asset.

Burned by the CIA and now occupying their secret hit list, he works overseas as a Ronin, living a solitary life in hiding.

But someone knows where he is.

A strange man arrives at his door offering Peter the chance of a real life. "Get this done and you can be free," he is told.

All he has to do is complete a three-name kill list in one month. Make it look like a series of unfortunate accidents.

What could be so complicated about that?

Surprisingly good

Orphan x on steroids. X is a bit more believable and slightly more polished. Both good listens

Outstanding

At first I didn't think I would like this book, however, I was pleasantly surprised how well written it is! The concepts are Doherty from any other "agency" thriller I've read/ heard. Well worth the money and time spent listening.

I loved this book

Great story, excellent narrator. I bought books 2 & 3 in the series before this one was even finished

A bit slow at first.. but got much better

It was slow at first, then took hold and got really good. I was surprised at a few turns in the book. I won’t say what they are so you may enjoy!

Intriguing

I like the various layers of the story and how it all came together. It also touched on various aspects of the human experience— love, hate, guilt, empathy, betrayal, etc.
