It’s there that he discovers he’s not the only one with a strange gift. But to speak of such mutation is asking for a deadly kind of trouble.Jameson is soon caught and forced into the Knock-pits of a Tropic Zone where he must fight to keep a new friend safe. Years pass. He grows as do his skills and his reputation, leading to increased challenges, bigger competitors, and ultimately a raid by the Shepherds United, the worldwide military.He soon learns what it means to train and fight like a soldier of Earth’s united peacekeepers like his father once had. He elects to set aside his emotions, desires, and instincts to become an enlisted member in hopes of grasping one last piece of his father. But when the second invasion hits, Jameson’s conviction and control are put to the test.He’s not a child anymore. This time, he can’t run from the truth. Jameson is more powerful than he ever imagined. Or perhaps, he simply isn’t remembering everything. The shepherd’s serum conceals memories, feelings, and the dark reality of what he’s becoming inside, leaving him stumbling through a confusing awakening in a rising tide of blood and fire.Can Jameson pull his pieces together in time to save his team, or is his destiny to blindly wield death wherever he goes? “When a book makes me look forward to the sequel, it’s well done.”-BookBub Review, ★★★★★ “A thought-provoking story, leading us into a future where fighting back to defend the planet becomes the focus for survival.
