First Blood


Rawlin Cash - 2019
    Their first kiss. The first time a bullet bit into their flesh. The first time they killed a man. They say everyone comes from somewhere. Well, the place I come from, they say you ain't really a man until you've been shot. So I guess that means I'm a man. This is a story about a couple of things. It's about my grandpa and the Nazi memorabilia he keeps hidden in the barn. It's about the time he killed my dog and knocked me near to death. It's about my daddy's rifle and the first time I really used it. It's called First Blood, and that's an apt title. Everyone comes from somewhere. Everyone has a first time. Everyone has a story. This is mine. This prologue novella sets the scene for one of the most full-throttle CIA assassin series to hit bookstores in years. It has been created from the ground up, with the help of present and former national security operatives, to fill the space between Jason Bourne and Mitch Rapp. The extensive series will see one new novel every six weeks during 2019. Don’t miss your chance to get in on the series that has already garnered critical praise and a passionate readership.
