THE EXILED OPERATIVE

By J.R. Ortiz

In a dystopian future, the government has constructed enormous walled cities designed to segregate those deemed unfit for society. Among the banished is Donovan Hale, a highly skilled special forces operative. Stripped of his status and cast into the isolated city of Reading, Pennsylvania, Donovan grapples with the trauma of his expulsion and the mystery of why he was chosen. As he navigates the treacherous landscape of the walled city, he discovers that survival hinges on his ability to trust no one.

The city, while appearing to maintain order, is rife with deception and hidden agendas. Donovan encounters a range of characters, each with their motives-some seeking to exploit his skills, others aiming to manipulate him for their own gain. As Donovan slowly pieces together the convoluted reasons behind his banishment, he realizes that his past is intertwined with a larger conspiracy led by a shadowy group within the government.

With danger lurking at every corner, Donovan must rely on his military training to outsmart assassins and unravel the truth. Each new revelation pulls him deeper into a web of intrigue, where allies become enemies and every choice could lead to his demise. As the walls close in, Donovan races against time to escape the city and expose the corrupt forces at work. In a heart-pounding climax, he confronts the orchestrators of his banishment and unveils a shocking reality that challenges everything he believed about loyalty, honor, and the very nature of freedom.
