The Janus Group: Books 1-3

By: Piers Platt

Narrated by: James Fouhey

The complete first trilogy. Three books.

Rath's Deception - On the cutthroat streets of Tarkis, orphaned teens like Rath end up jailed … or dead. So when the shadowy Janus Group offers Rath a chance to earn riches beyond his wildest dreams, he seizes it. But the Janus Group is as ruthless as the elite assassins it controls. Rath will have to survive their grueling, off-world training, and fulfill all 50 kills in his contract before a single cent comes his way. And ending so many lives comes with a price Rath can't anticipate. It'll certainly cost him what's left of his innocence. It may well cost him his life.

Rath's Gambit - Rath just assassinated a senator, and completed his final mission for the Janus Group. Now every Interstellar Police officer on Alberon is searching for him. If they don't find him, one of his fellow contractors certainly will … and the most feared criminal organization in the galaxy has severe punishments for employees who break the rules. Rath's only hope is to find the rogue contractor who helped him escape a company deathtrap after his final mission. United, the two assassins might just get free from the Janus Group and get what they're owed. But first they'll need to survive.

Rath's Reckoning - Rath and Paisen completed all 50 kills in their contracts with the Janus Group. But when they uncovered the criminal organization's darkest secret, the Janus Group unleashed an army of assassins to silence the rogue pair. With help from a former Interstellar Police detective, Rath and Paisen survive - barely.

Amazing, I was rooting for a mass murderer...

Thriller, sci-fi, and love story all in one story. No spoillers in this review, but enjoy this fast-paced story with a great narrator.

Highly recommend!!!!

Different plot than what I usually read

I really enjoyed this series but I will note I had to suspend my disbelief a little more than I like. Not to spoil anything but there is an issue with physics I feel. A device that is heavily plot relevant to me should weigh a ton but doesn’t. Also EMPs seem to selectively impact electronics and based on items not impacted I’m sure they are not electronically hardened.

Good story,Poor execution.

Author had a great idea,but the writing reads like a play by play, and is more than a little cliched. Would be good with a bit more editing.
