The Orphan Project

by Kevin Shea

The Orphan ProjectEnter the world of America’s darkest secret, The Orphan Project, and its lone success, Raven Moses. Eighteen men in the government died at his hand keeping the secret. Then thirty years ago he just disappeared. Now, at the turn of the millennium, cyber reporter, Laura Bradley, and infamous hacker, Indigo Smith, will use the Internet to uncover the government super-spy the CIA believed dead to the world. Retired spy, Raven Moses is living in New Arcadia, Washington. He has a new name, Sam Cassidy, and a new life. A life which is moving along at just the speed he likes until a beautiful woman shows up in his front yard with a sketchy past and a take no prisoners attitude. The attitude attracts him, not the sketchy past, and rightfully so. Over the next month Raven will confront a past he created but knew nothing about, all because Laura wants to get out of cyber space and go main media. Over the next month it will also become obvious that while Laura was tracking Raven someone was tracking an old enemy of Raven Moses.Raven’s life is a myriad of secrets, but none more relevant than his unimaginable past, his ancestry. Raven is a descendant of Shatow Indians. The Shatows isolated themselves for thousands of years by living in uninhabitable mountain regions around the earth. Because of this isolation Raven is mentally and physically superior to other humans in countless ways. The main one is that he has a lifespan of at least one-hundred and twenty five years. If this secret is discovered it could mean death for the last Shatow. The Orphan Project is a high-octane race for survival and an action-driven search for the truth set amidst the clandestine world of spies and spooks, deception and subterfuge. It is a razor- sharp thriller combining virtuosic storytelling, unforgettable characters, and amazing plot twists as it follows Raven and Laura on an irreversible course that won’t be complete until the truth is revealed and old scores are settled.About the and developmental disabilities specialist Kevin Shea has been an avid writer for more than forty years. The Orphan Project is a direct reflection of his lifelong love of storytelling and writing.
