Carl Strople was covertly recruited to Black Ops and given the most brutal kind of training any man or woman could endure. Now he belongs to The X Group. But why do they call him “Saint”?

An assassin. The most effective killer in the world. And yet . . . Carl Strople struggles to retain fleeting memories that betray an even more ominous reality. He's been told part of the truth--but not all of it.

Invasive techniques have stripped him of his identity and made him someone new--for this he is grateful. But there are some things they can't take from him. The love of a woman, unbroken loyalties to his past, the need for survival.

From the deep woods of Hungary to the streets of New York, Saint takes you on a journey of betrayal in a world of government cover-ups, political intrigue, and one man's search for the truth. In the end, that truth will be his undoing.

Mostly entertaining and definitely worth a read.

"Saint" is a fun jaunt through political intrigue with a dash of super-powered thrill, complete with double-crosses and secrets. The story is a thrill ride of assassins facing off with the usual tools and a dose of superhuman abilities. It mostly ditches its predecessor’s problem of being too preachy and focuses much more on the characters and story rather than an agenda. Characters are well-rounded with complex and interesting backstories and character arcs. This is a significant improvement over the previous installment’s one-dimensional characters. The weakest point of this novel is the ending. As though not knowing how to end, Mr. Dekker resorted to a lazy trope, not exactly a massive evil army and a sky-beam, but something akin. This was particularly disappointing due to how good the rest of the book was. Nevertheless, "Saint" is a fun time, solidly written and thoroughly entertaining until the last 10-20%. Despite a slightly rocky ending, I would recommend giving it a read, whether or not you have read "Showdown."
