Summary

A panoramic work of iron-blooded fiction that fully lays bare the mysterious life of snipers. The international economic forum convenes as scheduled in the coastal city of Binhai, and He Shichang hands a contract related to national security over to the municipal public security bureau. Yet at that very moment, the cold muzzle of a sniper rifle has also quietly locked squarely onto He Shichang from afar. In the silence beneath the forum's surface, an invisible hunt has already begun.

Editor's review

Assassin is another military suspense work by Liu Meng following Wolf Fang and others, once again focusing on a special profession and hidden battlefields. With a cold, sharp style, the book deeply depicts the inner world and professional ethics of a top assassin; the narrative pace is tight and the plot tightly linked, showing the author's consistent professional skill in firearms knowledge, tactical planning, and psychological maneuvering. Unlike many action novels that stay on the surface, Liu Meng focuses more on exploring the eternal struggle of the "executor" between a grand mission and personal conscience, endowing the story with profound tragedy and humanistic reflection. The portrayal of hidden fronts in the modern city is especially realistic, blurring the absolute boundary between justice and evil and prompting readers, amid thrilling hunts and counter-hunts, to constantly examine the complex relationship between violence and order. This is not just a novel offering an adrenaline rush but also a mirror reflecting the dark side of human nature. For readers familiar with Liu Meng's style, the book maintains his hardcore military detail while making notable breakthroughs in character development and thematic depth—a landmark mature work in his creative sequence.
