In the far future assassin Rico is Genetically engineered to be an amoral killer.But after Rico finds himself after a hit without a next job, he decides to lay low on a human settled planet.He ends up averting a terrorist attack on the planet. After being mistaken for a cop and having his guns taken from him he gets involved in finding the terrorists.

The most troubling thing about this book isnt that the protagonist is a psychopath,I mean I have read Dexter and Silence of the lambs. No the thing that bothered me with this book was the terrorists as muslims and involved christianity just made me so uncomfortable.

Furthermore our psychopath main character couldnt go so long in the book without thinking about his mental aberration. I would think someone who is born like this wouldnt even think about this som much.That would just be how they were.

...and then there is the love interest,a female cop who keeps mentioning her emotional baggage.Shes like so messed up dont you know. It made me think of a review I once read about the Girl with the Dragon tattoo and how there is this tough female character but with huge issues. She really needs someone to fix her.

Oh and there are bible studies in this book.

I cant help but wonder why why this book is set in the future...take out all the mentions of scifi stuff and it could just as well take place in our modern day.… (altro)
