Written as a fictional autobiography, in ‘Autobiography of an Assassin - The Family’, we are introduced to those unique individuals who make up the ‘Family’ - a collective of assassins and killers! The prequel, ‘The Here and the Now’, demonstrated the typical sheer conceited arrogance, which frequently makes up the character trait of a sociopath. Martin, the main character, went to great lengths to describe in detail, and mind numbing minutiae, the tools of his trade; his expertise and experience; and his vast network of clients and associates. Like all sociopaths and psychopaths, he his typically showing off – he is demonstrating how superior he is to the common man. Then, we got to see snippets of narrative, sometimes in graphic detail, which gradually extended his story. And, in the end, we got to see the real man behind the boasting mask of conceitedness. In the sequel, ‘The Family’, we are introduced to those who make up the ‘Family’ ... a diversity of individuals – some ‘damaged’, some not. In individual cameos, we get to meet them, a multiplicity of diverse characters. From the soft charismatic Irish charm of Patrick, to the steely fixed persona of Maaka - from the flamboyant John-Luke, to the studious academic Carl - from the bubbly Nicky, to the cold clinical Karen. They all have one thing in common. Like the rest of the Family - they are all killers! The Family, and their individual stories, are narrated sometimes in such a literal explicit manner, that some may find distressing and upsetting. But that is the nature of the animal ... that is the nature of man – and that is the nature of the Family. Now the story begins!
