"He can't run. He can't hide. He can't remember … Six weeks ago, Gideon Ryker awoke from a coma in the French chateau where veterans of the Foreign Legion live out their final days in peace. His body is a torturer's canvas, his mind an empty slate–except for haunting dreams of a young girl's face. He doesn't even remember his name. But he knows that a legionnaire's life is a brutal struggle. The only reward: a new identity and passport. A fresh start. You'd only take that deal if you needed to forget your past life. Or escape it … Clearly Gideon didn't run fast enough. Someone caught up with him once. And when a CIA hit squad arrives at the chateau, he discovers that hunting season isn't over. But where did he come from? Who is the girl that stalks his dreams?"–
