First and Second Assignments

Explosive and wild, First and Second Assignments is the debut novel by Ike Morah that is as intense as it is insightful, wise, and funny. Distinctive, with a broad stroke, this new storyteller weaves an alarming and fierce tale of bloodshed with very little remorse and a whole lot of action. In a cruel world where ruthless men make money off of the weak and intrepid, one man will sacrifice his conscience to bring justice to those without a voice. Ike is a man with many talents. He looks a little like Tarzan, but he is an unsung hero who believes in being a peacemaker at all costs. When Mafioso don Nicholai Kaputos enlists Ike for a dangerous task, he crosses a line from which Ike is unable to back step. With his next assignment taking him across Alaska and then into the darkest of continents, Ike will deliver magnificent justice—poetic justice, in which he serves as judge, jury, and willing executioner.
