Michael North has been shot by a bullet and lived to tell the tale. He is known as a hero and still has the metal in his head to prove that fact. Even though most people would have died, this has become a rare case where the bullet that is lodged into his brain has actually rejuvenated the neural pathways as well as increased his intuition like crazy.

So he basically has become like an X-man overnight, and with all of these new super talents like his intuition, you would think that North would be psyched to have enhanced ability. The truth is that it’s actually driving him crazy, and the worst part is that it’s not even the toughest problem in his life. A woman would be the cause of that!

The bullet isn’t that fun, but North has a job. He works for The Board, an agency that exists outside of the official government books. He is very adept at taking out the bad guys, but when it turns out that he is ordered to try to kill someone and he doesn’t agree with the mission, will he turn against duty and opt to go rogue?

The thing that used to make his job easier was the fact that he actually was going after the bad guys. What happens when he is asked to target someone that he believes to be innocent? There’s a new star on the political horizon, and some people don’t like what Honor Jones is doing. She’s asking a lot of questions about people that would be rather left alone.

Can North turn away from an assignment, or will loyalty be his downfall in the end? North is used to following the orders that he gets. This is one mission that is going to test him right down to the core– and in the end, determine everything about who he truly is. What will happen at the conclusion of this book? You’ve got to read Killing State in order to find out for yourself!
