Book excerpt: There’s no rest for the wicked, not when an apocalypse is etching ever closer to fruition and Alice Evelynn is beginning to make something of a life for herself. Enjoying a partnership with Ryan Archer, a man capable of traversing through alternate realities, Alice must ask herself what it is she truly wants most in life. There isn’t long to ponder however due to the poignant and ill-timed debut of a rather talented and colourful group of assassins. Mystery may shroud them but there is one thing that both Alice and Ryan know... they should not underestimate the nuclear family.
