YA
After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, Cam fakes his death to join an elite team of operatives committed to spending the final year of their lives as drug-enhanced spies, completing secret missions for the greater good--or so they think. Royce's vivid narrative reads like an action movie, favoring plot over characterization. A cliffhanger ending sets up the next installment.
