The world has changed.

Scientists warned it would happen.

Meteors devastated the Earth. World governments developed plans to help surviving citizens. The United States disbanded and salvageable land was divided into four quadrants - North, South, East, and West - governed by The Remnant Council.

Struggling to survive, 17-year-old Ava ends up in juvenile detention, until she is selected for a new life - with a catch. She must be injected with an experimental serum. The results will be life-changing. The serum will make her better. To receive the serum, Ava agrees to join a program controlled by ISAN, the International Sensory Assassin Network.

While on a training mission, she is abducted by a rebel group led by Rhett and told that not only does she have a history with him, but her entire past is a lie perpetuated by ISAN to ensure her compliance. Unsure of who to trust, Ava must decide if her strangely familiar and handsome captor is her enemy or her savior - and time is running out.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Reluctant Assassin

Looking for a read to get your adrenaline pumping? Look no further than ISAN: International Sensory Assassin Network. ISAN begins with Ava’s mental mission where she and her crew must find their way through a maze of gun fire and computerized soldiers to reach the exit door in time. With the help of Helix B77, a drug that heightens all senses and provides an individual with super human strength and speed. Ava’s biggest challenge is keeping teammates Justine and Brooke from squabbling and destroying their success.

ISAN is written in Ava’s point of view as she informs readers of her past. Her mother died of mysterious causes when she was a preteen and she was shipped off to foster care where she was mistreated. She ran away, got in trouble, and ended up in juvie where Russ, an ISAN operative, enlists her to join his secret organization. Ava is training to become an assassin.

Mary Ting writes a fascinating novel that takes place a hundred years into our future where the world is recovering from a devastating meteor shower that caused tidal waves that wiped out many of the world’s coastal cities. The United States is no more and the new government is headed by the Remnant Councils. We get the sense that ISAN is a secretive arm of those councils.

Ting writes a heart thumping novel where anything can happen, and does. The plot twists are surprising, but realistic, and the settings are illustrated adequately. Her strength lies in characterization where the author’s descriptive talents are showcased. Here we get into Ava’s head as she lets us know how she feels about every major character she meets and her relationship with that person.

ISAN is the first in a 4-book series of International Assassin Network books that include Helix (Book 2), Genes (Book 3), and CODE (Book 4).

From the start, ISAN will grab you with its thrilling melodramatic dystopian backdrop and vivid action scenes that are all seasoned with a dash of romance. Highly recommended.

ISAN: International Sensory Assassin Network by Mary Ting is a dystopian sci-fi thriller that keeps your heart pumping fast with adrenaline as the pages turn promising mystery, intrigue and suspense. I could not put this gem down and was so into it, I didn’t realize I was nearing the end. The cliffhanger literally had me first just blinking at my tab, then I swear for a few seconds I was willing to sell my soul for the second installment to magically appear.
Ava is a delinquent teenager who ends up in juvenile detention. Given the opportunity to make something of herself, she signs on the dotted line to join ISAN, having been told her blood work came back with the special gene they were looking for. After some time though, she starts to question a lot of things. Truth and lies become indecipherable.
Mary Ting builds a most extraordinary post apocalyptic world, this story taking place two generations after a meteor strike demolishes the earth. The cast of characters are unique, some you will fall in love with, some will leave you guessing as to their true intentions. The suspense of waiting for the next book in series is excruciatingly painful but well worth it. I recommend, my dear bibliophiles, you pick up this book today!

This book grabs you from page one, immersing you in Ava's dystopian world. The Earth has pretty much been destroyed by meteors and Ava is taken in by an Assassin agency. On a mission, she is kidnapped by Rhett and ooh the sparks!

I was surprised that it took as long for Ava and Rhett to connect in this book, though everything that happened ealier was definitely necessary. I'm eager to read the 2nd book and see where this leads.

All apocalyptic/dystopian lovers, this one is for you!

An enchanting glimpse into the future when the world is devastated by natural disasters and the human race finds ways to rebuild, replenish, and capitalize on resources from the same meteors that brought them to the brink of extinction. With a secret government keeping everyone in check, including the four council leaders of the four quadrants that make up this new world, lines are crossed and Ava, a 17 year old juvenile foster delinquent turned Assassin is at the forefront of it all.

Ava’s life is filled with mental missions, training, and field missions. She knew her job and whether she was satisfied or not she signed a contract with ISAN to get out of juvie and this was her life now. She is an Assassin and nothing more. Until she’s taken on a terrifying and unexpected adventure that opens her eyes to possibilities she had never considered. With lives in her hands she has to figure out who is lying and who is telling the truth before everything blows up in her face.

ISAN is a thrilling adventure filled with conspiracies, deceit, lust, danger, and love. I can’t wait for book 2!

This book has suspense, adventure, love,lose and a range of emotions that keep you hanging on til the last word!This is a must read book! In my opinion it's the best dystopian read since Divergent and I actually think it surpasses Divergent! It is full of twist and turns that will keep you guessing and anxiously awaiting book 2! There's plenty of action to keep you turning the page til the very end and also alittle romance to spicy it up a bit. All in a dystopian sci-fi setting that is ingenious and creative!Definitely give this book 5 hearts! ❤💜❤💜❤

Interesting characters and plot would benefit from greater descriptions of settings and characters to create a stronger mental picture. Word choice and syntax would benefit from greater variety and flow and more build up to create suspense. Overall, I enjoyed the book and would read more of this series. A good teen novel and good summer read.
