A spy hunter. A rogue operative. A secret war that could destroy them both. Olesya is just an ordinary girl from post-Soviet Russia, but that changes when the clandestine Fifth Column discover her rare genetic anomaly. Taken from her home and ensnared in a special training program, Olesya is destined to become a black operative, or die trying. But when a splinter faction of the Fifth Column sabotages the program, she escapes. Almost a decade later, Olesya leads a team of hunters on a dangerous assignment. Her targets are black operatives: elusive, genetically enhanced, and unstoppable. From the bio-clinics of Brazil to the icy borderlands of Kaliningrad, from the catacombs of Lithuania to the citadel of occupied Prague, Olesya is at the heart of a war against a powerful, malevolent organization that wants total control. But as operatives and hunters start to vanish, Olesya discovers they aren't the only players in this deadly game... This is the first adrenaline-charged episode in the Helix sci-fi thriller series by USA Today bestseller Nathan M. Farrugia. If you like conspiracy, espionage and edge-of-your-seat suspense, then you'll love this thrilling cross between Jason Bourne and Dark Angel.
