The Soul Survivor

The mysterious millionaire and highly successful corporate executive, Mathew Anthony, alias The Mailman, is back in action. Mathew and his identical twin brother, Thomas, have survived a failed assassination attempt, intended to close the book on those who were involved in the murder of The Mailman's handler, CIA agent, Scott Johnson (The Corporate Chameleon). Regrettably, Thomas Anthony's wife, Sienna, was an inadvertent victim of the assassination attempt and she was terminated. This event launched a retaliation journey (The Mainstreet Messenger) by The Mailman and his brother who were successful with the extermination of all parties involved, except one, the President of the United States. The assassination saga targeting the Anthony Brothers remains an irritant to the President. The chronicle with the Anthony brothers continues (The Soul Survivor). Both brothers have drastically changed their ideals after avenging the death of Sienna Anthony. Thomas continues with his campaign quest to become the first Independent candidate to be elected to the Office of the President of the United States. Subversive activities are uncovered which suggest the possibility of another attempt on the lives of the Anthony brothers is being constructed. This information reinforces the brothers' conclusion that they must devise a plan which will pit them against the most powerful man in the world, the President of the United States. The Mailman, the consummate assassin, will face the ultimate test of will and skill by deciding to undertake his most unimaginable 'delivery'. The Mailman who fears nothing, spends no time thinking about aspirations or destiny, thus, when an exploit is needed, cares little about his own demise. The action he must take is straight forward; take the sword of Lady Justice, rebalance her scale, and then remove her blindfold for her to judge his handiwork. A journey is about to take place, that will not only affect Thomas and Mathew Anthony's respective lives, but also the lives of the very nation the brothers so unconventionally love and defend. To the brothers, one man, the President of the United States, evolves from being a life's passage distraction to an imminent danger. For the Anthony brothers, every value, principle, and belief will be tested ... to be entrenched or to be tossed aside. The very existence of the strongest nation in the world will be pushed to the brink of hell, in this survivor-takes-all conflict. SET NO LIMITS, HAVE NO FEAR, AND ALLOW NO REMORSE ...
