Code of Arms
Six weeks ago, Gideon Ryker awoke from a coma in the French chateau where veterans of the Foreign Legion live out their final days in peace. His body is a torturer’s canvas, his mind an empty slate—except for haunting dreams of a young girl’s face. He doesn’t even remember his name.
But he knows that a legionnaire’s life is a brutal struggle. The only a new identity and passport. A fresh start. You’d only take that deal if you needed to forget your past life. Or escape it... Clearly Gideon didn’t run fast enough. Someone caught up with him once. And when a CIA hit squad arrives at the chateau, he discovers that hunting season isn’t over. But where did he come from? Who is the girl that stalks his dreams?
