Like The Bourne Identity turned inside-out.Christopher Farnsworth, author ofBlood OathThis is a war. Its been going on for generations. If youre lucky, it will be your generation that ends itAt least thats what the young ones are told before they turn eighteen. At that age they become fair game, and must kill or be killed in a secret war between two distinct sidesone good, one evil. The only unknown is which side is which. Hidden in plain view, the battles are fought through assassinations disguised as accidents or the work of senseless thugs.Joseph has a particular talent for such killings. Never questioning an order, all he needs is a name. But when a job goes wrong and hes sent away on a punishingly dangerous assignment, he meets a girl. Her name is Maria. And for the first time Joseph has a reason to liveoutside the war.Now Joseph must run from those who fought by his side, quickly discovering that the only thing more dangerous than fighting the war is attempting to leave it.

What side do you choose when you dont even know what War youre fighting?Over generations, the War has grown. It has become bloodier. Both sides will do anything to win.

Even if you have choices, sometimes you only have one worth making. The war had been raging for as long as anyone could remember. The secret, endless war between two opposing sidesone good, one evil. Neither side knows which is which; it is kill or be killed in an invisible conflict where assassination is the weapon of choice. When she was just seventeen, Maria was pulled into this secret war and they killed her lover and stole her child. Now they are telling her to go home. To ignore what she knows is going on in the shadows all around her. They told Maria to forget all shed lost. The trouble is, some things simply cant be forgotten. Now, with a loose-cannon killer at her side, Maria is going to do whatever it takes to get back what belongs to her. And that means starting a war of her own

Regla n#mero 1: Prohibido matar a transe#ntes inocentes. Regla n#mero 2: Prohibido matar a nadie menor de dieciocho a#os. Regla n#mero 3: Prohibido tener hijos hasta cumplir dieciocho a#os. Rompe las reglas y te convertir#s en objetivo. En un mundo terriblemente parecido al nuestro, dos bandos se enfrentan en una guerra secreta. Joe participa en ella como un soldado perfecto cuya misi#n es ejecutar los objetivos que le indican sus superiores, sin cuestionarse unas reglas que no acaba de comprender. De ni#o le explicaron que el mundo estaba dividido en dos bandos bien diferenciados: el bueno y el malo, pero cuando conoce a Maria esa frontera comienza a desdibujarse. Sus firmes y sangrientas convicciones se desvanecen al tiempo que se impone una la #nica y terrible y #nica verdad: solo hay una cosa m#s peligrosa que luchar en una guerra: abandonarla.

Si lo que buscas es una lectura apasionante y vertiginosa Hijos del miedo es tu mejor opci#n."The Saturday Evening Post
