Still Slippy
A Spanish woman trying to retire as an assassin, a French Foreign Legion deserter from Madagascar, a mysterious (perhaps CIA) woman from America, a billionaire military contractor, and a man wandering the seas alone on a sailing ship bump into each other in the Indian Ocean, and not all of them survive.
Still Slippy tells the tale of MΓ³nica, who has had enough of her life as a contract killer when she meets lonely wanderer Frank Baltimore in a stupidly expensive resort in Madagascar. A few hundred miles away, Alain has had more than enough of his solitary post on a tiny island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. So, when the mysterious Skye offers him a job, he says yesβdespite not knowing if she is CIA, Wagner, Darkwater, or a gangster, but he wants in.
Skye takes him to Diego Garcia, the top-secret US military base in the middle of the Indian Ocean, for training. Things turn ugly and deadly when a man from Frank's past turns up trying to break into the lucrative, secretive, already crowded world of paramilitary contractors. He, MΓ³nica, Alain, and Skye end up on his bad side and turn to each other for help.
