The First
A John Smith Thriller #1
by Glen Kenner
Genre: Action Thriller

The first page hits you like a deadly punch to the throat and never lets up!


John Smith is a First, one of a few men that walk among us seemingly as normal as anyone, but with a secret so unimaginable that their very existence is a threat to humanity. But times are changing and the Firsts are eager to live openly and take their rightful place in the world once again. The only thing stopping them is John, who has seen the best and worst of all of mankind and knows that some truths are best kept secret. He has kept his own life simple and unassuming because he knows it’s the only way to stay out of the system and under the radar of world governments, secret organizations, and assassins alike. But when an old enemy shows up on the same day that a beautiful young woman needs his help, John quickly finds himself in the fight of his life against elite hit squads, ruthless psychopathic murders, and a black-ops cutting-edge technology that was specifically designed to track down him and other Firsts like him, all while trying to unravel the mystery of this new woman in his life without getting her killed and keeping her from killing anyone who doesn’t deserve it. From the American Midwest to Syria and Paris, John Smith is both predator and prey, but he can no longer survive on his own, and so with the help of the only people he hopes he can trust and more luck than he deserves, he faces down his fears and takes on his enemies the only way he knows how: with everything he’s got.

The traffic on Delmar is backing up and the sidewalks are packed with the business lunch crowd. My
pickup is three blocks down on the other side of the street in one of the free parking lots behind the
shops and restaurants. I get to the corner of North Skinker and start to cross with everyone else when I
hear a buzz. But I don’t recognize anyone in the crowd that’s starting to cross within five feet. Besides,
the only other First in St Louis that I know of is Maurice. And nobody can miss Maurice in a crowd. Huh. I
stay put, apologize to everyone that’s bumping into me because they’re moving to cross. I look like an
idiot tourist that’s never seen a crosswalk. Everyone gets across, the light turns, traffic starts back up and
it’s just me standing here. Listening to that buzz. What the hell? And now the buzz is moving up and
down in pitch. And then it starts to jump around. Oh fuck. I know what this is. As I recognize the piercing
sound, my adrenaline kicks in. I spin around looking for a girl. Should be in her late teens, maybe twenty.
I see the profile of a black girl with shoulder-length braids sitting at one of the crowded tables at the
corner of the pastry shop behind me. It must be her.
Fifteen feet away. Fifteen mother fucking feet away and I can hear her buzz. Shit. That’s bad.
A couple huge steps and I’m next to her. I need her to trust me and quickly so that I can get her
somewhere where there won’t be any witnesses.
