No friends. No backup. On the run, and headed for the most violent city in the world. It's all in a day's work for Olesia Anderson. After narrowly escaping a hit-squad sent by her former employers, Olesia is headed south. Her only hope: Kay, the assassin-for-hire she worked with in Moscow. Kay promises answers, so long as Olesia helps with a job across the US-Mexico border, in the badlands of Juarez. This could be the mission that kills her. But if it takes her one step closer to the truth about her parents, and the man pulling Zero Error's strings... It's a risk she has to take. BLACKOUT: PART 1 is the first half of a double-length action-thriller where Olesia will be pushed to the limits of her talents and strength in a conflict spanning continents.
