Autobiography of an Assassin: Part One

The Here and the Now

Martin is an assassin – or that is how he likes to think of himself. In reality, beneath a seemingly pleasant and unpretentious facade, lurks a ruthless predator ... a narcissistic sociopath! He killed his very first victim when he had only just turned sixteen. Fleeing to Belgium, he had been recruited into a mercenary organisation, more commonly known as ‘La Légion’ Given a new identity, he had been taken to Morocco to undergo intensive training ... training that had been frequently brutal and bestial. Six months later, he would emerge from the remote foothills of the Atlas Mountains a highly trained, widely experienced and psychologically conditioned killer. In Vietnam, he had been recruited into ‘Section 9’, a covert organisation within the British Secret Intelligence Service. They had wanted Martin to join them as a freelance field operative – an assassin! But fate was to intervene. On arriving back in London, Martin had discovered feelings and emotions that he had never ever experienced before – he had discovered love and affection. With a new love in his life, had come new sense of purpose, a new sense of direction – and a change of heart. True love had given him compassion and humanity. But nothing lasts forever, and after five short years of marital bliss, tragedy had cruelly struck – a tragedy that had destroyed his life and had taken away his very soul. It was then that an assassin was truly born. And, overnight Martin had become a ruthless heartless killer ... attracting similarly motivated sociopaths to his ‘Family’, and the growing Family business – the business of killing! During the last fifty years, Martin has killed all manner of people - and now he has decided to write his autobiography. The Here and the Now is the first part of that autobiography.
