HE DOESN’T FIGHT WARS, HE ENDS THEM. Shadowy forces have turned a simple job in Taiwan into a complicated affair for Chance Mock. It’s made The Freelancer a hunted man, with multiple governments in pursuit. As his allies scramble to keep him alive, they, too, find themselves in the crosshairs. Lost in the Philippines, Chance finds himself at the epicenter of what might be the fuse that ignites World War III. Powers great and small are trying to figure out what is going on and who is responsible for the recent turmoil in the Asian region, while others are trying to throw what’s already a delicate situation into further chaos. As the saying goes, only those who have not seen the horrors of war are eager to wage them. Chance Mock has seen it all, and though he couldn’t care less about the motivations behind those in power, he’s not about to let them use him as a patsy. Payback is a bitch. The Freelancer is worse.
