SAVING THE WORLD. ONE MURDER AT A TIME.Edward Zero is the perfect execution machine – a spy who breaks the rules to get things done. When a stolen device appears in the center of a long-running conflict, Zero comes to retrieve it.  The problem is, the device is inside a living, breathing, bio-modified terrorist and there’s an entire army after it.

Zero is sent into a war zone on a mission to retrieve a piece of technology.  Unfortunately that technology is located in the chest of a biomodified Hamas soldier who is locked in a death battle with a similarly equipped Israeli soldier.  Zero must work his way in avoiding soldiers and find a way to neutralize one or both super-soldiers.

Zero is ruthless in getting the mission completed, but there’s more to him than just a killing machine.  And that is one of the things that makes this an interesting story.  Kot provides a framing sequence that leaves the reader with enough questions to want to come back for more.  Walsh’s art dramatizes the story with a stark bold touch that works to show the brutality in Kos’ story.

The issue isn’t for kids since it features violence and sexual situations.  Or for adults offended by either.
