Asher Mallone just wanted to do his time and retire. He and his family had plans. Unfortunately for him, the Teledyne Corporation had its own ideas, and they didn’t track with Mallone’s.
The more he did and the better he became at his job, the more important tasks Teledyne assigned him, ultimately culminating in the creation of a force of corporate espionage specialists better than any other. Past, present, or future.
Retirement could wait a little longer.
But there are forces both inside Teledyne and out who are bent on controlling everything and everyone in the world… no matter the cost. And Asher and his Specialists stand between the Corporate masters and everything they want.
Excellent book, but not your typical Fallen World story. It is a prequel giving us a great insider view into the machinations of a corporation named Teledyne and it is the story of the first Specialist. Asher Mallone is the Pendant to Kade at Obsidian.
And to make it totally fitting, the author is Brisco Woods, brother of... yes Christopher Woods, who gave us this Fallen World.
And so we aren't out of the Woods yet! (hah, REALLY did want to place that one into a review!)
