A war-damaged empath with six hours to live is forced to solve a series of mind-bending murders.
A top Company scientist has been murdered. Vatic, an on-the-run half-alive empath with no memory of who or what he is, will die in six-hours if he can't find out why-or so the Company tells him-an 'added incentive to get the job done'.
Our hero soon discovers he is one of the Skilled, a genetically enhanced human-revered and despised in equal measure-a bloodhound with a terrifying past who'll stop at nothing in his pursuit of truth.
And 'the Skilled always get their guy'... don't they?

Author Biography:
"K.J.Heritage's uncanny sense of pacing and story puts him at the forefront of today's speculative fiction writers." - Samuel Peralta, Amazon bestselling author and creator of The Future Chronicles. When K.J.Heritage isn't penning third-person descriptions about himself for online consumption, he's an international bestselling author writing the books he likes to read. From psychological thrillers, crime and mystery to sci-fi and action & adventure. His first short story, 'ESCAPING THE CRADLE' was runner-up in the 2005 Clarke-Bradbury International Science Fiction Competition. His other short stories have appeared in several anthologies with such self-publishing sci-fi luminaries as Hugh Howey, Samuel Peralta and Michael Bunker. K.J.Heritage's short story, CHURCHILL'S ROCK, part of the 'Chronicle Worlds: Legacy Fleet' anthology, will be aboard the Astrobotic's Peregrine Lunar Lander set for launch on the United Launch Alliance's Vulcan Centaur rocket platform bound for the moon in 2023. K.J.Heritage has worked all the requisite 'writer jobs' such as driver's mate, factory gateman, barman, labourer, telesales operative, sales assistant, warehouseman, IT contractor, Student Union President, university IT helpdesk guy, British Rail signal software designer, Premiership football website designer, gigging musician, graphic designer, stand-up comedian, sound engineer, improv artist, magazine editor and web journo... Although he doesn't like to talk about it. Mostly... Maybe a little bit. He was born in the UK in one of the more interesting previous centuries. Originally from Derbyshire, he now lives in the seaside town of Brighton. He is a tea drinker, and autistic (ASD) neurodivergent human being.
