The Medusa Protocol

By Rob Hart

Book Overview

Welcome back to Assassins Anonymous, the only twelve-step group where joining can be deadly.

When Astrid, known in her assassin days as Azrael, stopped showing up to Assassins Anonymous, the group assumed her past had caught up with her. Only her sponsor Mark, formerly the deadliest killer in the world, holds out hope that she's okay. Then, during a meeting, the group gets a sign, or rather, a pizza delivery. Is there another psychopath out there who actually likes olives on their pizza, or is Astrid trying to send Mark a message?

Meanwhile, Astrid wakes up in the cell of a black site prison, on a remote island. A doctor subjects her to mysterious experiments, plumbing the depths of her memory and looking for a vital clue from her past. She'll do anything to escape, except...killing anyone. Hmm. Turns out it's not easy to blow this joint without blowing anything, or anyone up.

Customer Reviews

Astrid is awesome!

I absolutely had a blast reading Assassins Anonymous with its nonstop action, funny quips from Mark, and how hard he tried to not kill anyone and make amends from his past. This time you get to learn all about Astrid, her past and awesomely wicked kills and how she is trying to make amends from that. Unfortunately someone else wants revenge and so Astrid must escape a snake infested island, help others, and do her best not to kill anyone while at it. I really admire Astrid! Especially as you get to see snippets of her jobs and past and how and why she became an assassin. Yes, Mark and the others are also in this book, drawn into Astrid's plight by a pizza. It is a furiously fast read that is so much fun, quite a bit of maiming and injuring but it somehow still lighthearted and I love to see assassins showing all their skills (which with the Pale Horse, Azrael, and the others is formidable!) in rescuing those locked up on that island. This is a great series, though you can read this book by itself without feeling too lost, but you should definitely read the first book too as both are really good. Funny how you can become so attached to a group of assassins meeting up like AA groups, trying to stop killing as it becomes just as hard to quit as alcohol. lol!
