The Phoenix Blade

By: Andrew Hess

Narrated by: Steve Sherwood

What would you do if everything you said and did was monitored and used to force you into working covertly for the government?

College student Andrew Lancaster has had enough of corrupt politicians and corporate greed, but his anger filled rants may have gone too far. When Lancaster is contacted by a government official calling himself "The Benefactor", he learns his private communications have been monitored. And there will be consequences.

Lancaster is given a choice; join forces with the government he distrusts, or face a treason indictment. As an added incentive, he'll receive the answer to a question that has plagued him since childhood - who killed his mother?

It is something Lancaster cannot live without knowing and enlists as an undercover operative in Project Justice. At first the mission seems ideally suited for his do-gooder attitude. But Lancaster soon discovers the tactics he'll be using are not only dishonest; they're deadly. Lancaster learns he will be an assassin; eliminating targets the Benefactor and other high ranking officials deem to be evil.
