Description
Presented as fiction. How much of it truly belongs there is for the reader to decide.
Nine Lives by Paul Smith is a raw, hard-hitting British military thriller that moves from warzones and covert operations to mercenary contracts and Manchester’s ganglands. It explores violence, survival, PTSD and the choices that gradually transform a man.
He has seen violence dressed up as justice—and justice buried beneath silence. After walking away with more scars than savings, he tries to begin again: quietly, honestly and determined to build a different life.
But some ghosts refuse to remain buried.
As the past closes in, the instincts that once kept him alive threaten to destroy everything he has tried to build. Rules, uniforms and loyalties may contain the monster created for survival, but every cage eventually opens.
Dark, uncompromising and relentlessly gripping, Nine Lives examines what prolonged exposure to violence can turn men into—and whether someone trained to bury every emotion can ever truly escape what he has seen, done and become.
