The Shiva Objective — David Sakmyster

In this prequel to THE PHAROS OBJECTIVE, and a homage to the classic Richard Connell story, 'The Most Dangerous Game', gifted psychic and assassin Nina Osseni finds herself the objective of a very special hunt. Set in the exotic city of Agra, India against the backdrop of the legendary Taj Mahal, she must outwit the world's greatest hunters who are seeking the ultimate challenge that she represents. Combining fascinating history, modern thrills and as always - intriguing ancient mysteries, The Shiva Objective is a must-read for fans of the series, or as just a standalone read.

*Note - it is a short story (about 40 pages), and not a novel.

This story originally appeared in THE GAME anthology from 7RealmsPublishing (2011), which includes many other stories inspired by the classic Connell tale.
