![]() ![]() Where Death Meets The Sea by Monolord, released 29 September 2017. It’s impossible to trust the assassin, especially when his presence casts doubts on Jack’s loyalty to his country, but Jack cannot ignore what Blade’s return means: the mess that brought them together is far from over, and Ethan might just bring back the piece of Jack’s soul he thought he’d lost forever. Then Ethan Blade reappears and throws it all into chaos once more. ![]() A year later, Jack is home and finally getting his life on track. As they trek across a hostile desert, Jack learns that Blade is much more than a dead-eyed killer-and harder to resist than he should be. Yet, Jack’s only chance to survive is to strike a bargain with the devil and join forces with Blade. Blade is everything Jack doesn’t believe in: remorseless, detached, lawless. But “messy” takes on a whole new meaning when he finds himself tied to a chair in a torture shack, his cover blown wide open, all thanks to notorious killer-for-hire Ethan Blade. Hayward Jack Reardon, former SAS soldier and current Australian Meta-State asset, has seen some messy battles. ![]() HaywardĮbook gratis italiano download epub Where Death Meets the Devil ![]() ![]() ![]() Desire, in this case, connotes the sexual and the intellectual, the imaginative and the appropriative: ultimately, it is the urge, on the part of the reader, to get closer to the world and ideas of the source text.
