Book Description
Like all professionals, Jason has a creed. While the code of an assassin might not be lofty or idealistic, it sets standards for conduct. When he comes across an assault on the cruel and beautiful Lady Xena, he rescues her from would-be kidnappers. He finds her beautiful, grateful, and aroused by the spilling of blood. She encourages him to take her as a reward and he is happy to do so. Pleased with his sexual prowess as much his ability on the battlefield, she wants him to stay with her and take her many more times. He is on another mission his creed dictates he must complete, but he offers safe passage to an inn where her soldiers await. Once there, he is able to live up to his creed, and complete his original mission, giving the haughty lady more than she expected. ~~~~~ PG Excerpt ~~~~~ Jason stood in the shadows, watching. Automatically he counted four thieves. They appeared to be the normal sort of thugs who robbed travelers. This lot represented a small step up from cutpurses, but they were far more dangerous and more ready to kill. As evidence to that, three uniformed defenders, simple soldiers, lay in the roadway. The thieves had obviously taken them by surprise and shifted the odds in their favor quickly. Only one defender remained. Although he was acquitting himself reasonably well and defending the carriage, as he was outnumbered, his need to stay in position to defend the women made him vulnerable. Jason watched with the interest of a professional, noting that if the soldier had been able to take the attack to the thieves, he might've succeeded in carrying the fight to them, routing them. The way they danced about him suggested their bravery came from strength of numbers and if he ran through one of them, the rest might flee. Still, they were clever rogues, and they moved well for amateurs. They worked as a team, encircling him as a pack of dogs might, thrusting at him with short swords, baiting him and trying to get him to lunge at one of them. The soldier seemed to realize that would open him to the others, and he contented himself with parrying the blows and holding his ground. It couldn't last. Sooner or later the four attackers would simply wear him down. Eventually, the thieves grew impatient. One slipped away and circled the carriage, coming to the far side. He tore open the door and leaped in. The frightened woman screamed, and the defender turned to see what had happened. He saw that he'd been outflanked and as he considered what to do, one of the thieves struck him in the head and he fell to the ground, senseless. The man in the carriage grabbed the rich lady by the arm and triumphantly dragged her out of it, down to the ground. She moved smoothly, not showing the panic Jason would have expected from a fine lady being grabbed by a bandit. Another man opened the other coach door and dragged the maid (Jason was sure that was what she was) down from the carriage, seeming to enjoy her screaming. She struck at him with her arms and feet, but he was a stout fellow and didn't seem to mind the blows she rained on him. The elegant lady watched this scene play out with a detached look as if she was sizing up the situation. She looked in Jason's direction and he saw a glint in her eyes. She had seen him. The Lady had the same coolness and ability to see through the confusion that he expected from a trained warrior. The man holding the Lady's wrist was looking her over. "We'll see a decent ransom for this Lady, I'll wager." The man's tone, his actions told Jason he was the leader of this group. Tall and lean, he would be the one to watch.ÿ

Book Description
It is constitutional for governments to protect residents but that is not practicable everywhere and every time. So, individuals and organizations have to take proactive steps that among other objectives, deter, detect and delay crime while law enforcement agencies are awaited to perform their constitutional role of protection. But those steps can only be taken with proper understanding of the kidnap and assassination threats. To that end, kidnapping can be defined as detaining a person by force against his or her will. It's traumatic and understandably, impacts both victim and acquaintances negatively. Even after humiliating political or bankrupting financial concessions, a victim's safety is not guaranteed. In fact, after concessions, only 40% of prolonged kidnap victims are uninjured or not dead according to Control Risks of London. All that calls for proactive threat mitigation plans. Although initially associated with political extremism, kidnapping took on economic dimension by 1999 with a 40% leap in victim haul skyrocketing global annual ransom to $500 million. Hence kidnapping is now largely for economic reasons and neither the scourge of failed or failing states nor are the victims restricted to particular socio-economic brackets. Rather, all - including politicians, business tycoons, performing artists, topflight civil servants, expatriates, clergymen, etc. and their associates are now at risk. On the other hand, assassination or targeted killing as homicide, is carried out by a crime target's business or political rivals for a competitive or political edge. Besides national causal factors, the negative fallouts of globalization including relaxed international borders and InfoTech enhanced anonymity for criminals, are making assassination or targeted killing wide-spread. But as both the kidnap and assassination threats follow identifiable steps to succeed, it is possible to proactively focus on the "how" rather than the "who" to pre-empt pending attacks. Even where a target unfortunately falls victim of kidnapping in particular, prior enlightenment would hone his or her survival instincts to neutralize the destructive power of morbid fear - a captive's worst enemy. So, be proactive! Read this book now and not later.
