Summary
Jonathan Pine had spent his entire career learning how to survive monsters. He had never prepared for those who wore the faces of the dead.
Somewhere beyond the ringing in his skull and the slow hemorrhage of sensation from his limbs, he understood one thing with terrifying clarity: the men standing over him were real, they were alive, and they hated him with a conviction that belonged to a history he had never lived.
If this was a hallucination, it was cruelly detailed. If it was not—
Then Jonathan Pine had not simply survived Colombia.
He had survived into the wrong world.
And in this one, he was the villain.
