Zeus is the lowest of the low a hitman, and muscle for a monster who sells children into sexual slavery. It was only because he learned from the guy who used to do the same job, though, that he made it off the streets. It isn’t until he is sent to transport yet another boy that he discovers something that cannot be true, and yet somehow, is this boy is Zeus’ child-self, the part he had to let die to stay alive through the horror, somehow made physically real. The discovery leaves him with a monumental choice to make Does he leave things as they have always been and deliver the boy, letting that part of him die once and for all, or, in order to save himself, does he destroy the men he works for in order to let the boy go free?

A friend at Goodreads recommended this book to me. Wow, what can I say? Oh, first of all a warning to the romance readers - this is not a romance, like not at all, although there is a possibility that the love story may develop in the future between the main character and another character, if they stay alive that it is. It is not really a spoiler, because the blurb spells out for you who the main character is. And I have to tell you, even in fiction I usually deeply detest the characters who do what main character does. I mean, there were few exceptions here and there, but usually I will not touch a book with the contract killer (and he does other "fun" stuff too) as the main character. I am usually not interested in how the mind of the monster works and while in fiction I may enjoy somebody developing remorse because they killed once, if somebody killed more than once and enjoys what he does, I just do not care to read about it.Apparently this book is one of the few exceptions. No, I did not care for the main character right away, in fact I did not really care for him almost during the first half of the book. See, he does not develop deep remorse about his job and love for all humanity, but someone touches something in him and that someone reminds him of himself too much. And when I keep thinking about it, isn't it the more believable way to develop somebody's persona change in some ways (but not in other ways) if one grews to care for one person and need to do things for that one person? I do not even mean in the romantic way here.
Combine it with the sometimes cynical, sometimes philosophical and spot on observations, which main character makes throughout the book and you will have a very very enjoyable read.
Please note however that it is not an easy read, because besides the fact of what main character is, subject of sexual slavery is also in this book and it is painful to read at times.
There is another way this book worked for me, when usually it would not have worked - it does not necessarily have flashbacks, but timeline jumps for the most part of the storyline. Usually it would have annoyed me, but I thought it could not have done any other way here and in the last I would say third of the story, it stops jumping and suspense slowly builds up.
Wonderful book, if you are up for not escapist read I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Stealing Ganymede edition by J Warren Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I read this book when it came out, and I still can't get it out of my mind. The characters are so vividly drawn that at times they break my heart. Best of all is the complete sense of justice this book left me with. LOVE IT!
I wasn't sure what to expect when I first read this book, but I was blown away. Now, months later, I still think about this text. J. Warren has created characters that stick with you. You might not always agree with their decisions, but he does a masterful job of helping the reader see how they got to where they are. The topic of abuse and violence is sometimes a difficult one for me to read, but Stealing Ganymede balances the necessary explicit content with the reflection needed to keep the reader going. Great, moving book!
"Stealing Ganymede" is one of the best fictional accounts I've read. Extremely well written and presented, Warren proves highly effective in creating believeable and powerful characters (and creatures!), settings and situations. The story is gripping, unique and provided me with an opportunity to shiver my way into the realm of the illicit underground world of sexual slavery. The style of writing and Warren's dedication to delivering a consistent theme throughout showcases his artistry in writing. I can only commend Warren on crafting such a compelling book. He is one of today's best young talents in fiction to watch!
This is the kind of story in which you have a bad/tough guy who is utterLy convinced he is doing what needs to be done, who has his motives apparently clear, who never deviates from the plan. Until someone unexpectedly enters his life and changes everything. Makes him do what he would never do, makes him question himself, and sets him on a different course. There are a lot of movies with this theme, with a great variety in the main character’s personality. This book would be a “Leon The Proffesional” meets “Mercury Rising”. And it’s a good work in which this “ingredient” is just the beginning.
Marcus (known as Zeus) is the main character; the bad and tough guy here. He “solves problems”, ranging from making guys talk, acting as a hitman and delivering human “packages” for prostitution; chiefly child prostitution involving young boys. He sees the bad things, he hears them, yet he detaches himself from them. That is, until he meets Ganymede (Gan) first another package; then, Zeus’s reason to live and die.
It’s not so much as Zeus is platonically attracted to Gan (despite there is some underlying indication this is the case), as he suddenly sees in the boy there is hope for salvation. Gan has lost his innocence, but conserves some of his adolescence. Zeus sees the opportunity to change this boy’s life –to take him somewhere safe from abuse and self-obliteration. But, in order to accomplish that, he has to break his job’s “rules of engagement”, kill his detached self, and maybe himself.
Thus two journeys start Zeus and Gan’s to Gan’s safety; and Marcus’s to his past to the main events that contributed to make him Zeus. We understand what rally Gan means to him and why. We witness tragedy, and rage and survival.
Warren writes in a way that makes you feel you are watching a movie. The descriptions are very cinematographic, and the novel reads fast.
Moreover, I thought you don’t get an entertaining, yet hollow thriller. It also has some insight in human psychology, children’s responses to trauma, and certain questionable decisions made by people when they are pushed to the limit. Moreover, the book is yet another mean to helps raise awareness to how common yet unseen and unreported sexual abuse of boys and boy prostitution actually is.
Character development is great when it comes to Zeus. Not so much regarding other characters. There’s some experimental attempt to Gan’s perspective through a dream, but it doesn’t develop.
Some other reviews have criticized the references to books as boring and excessive. I found them fascinating. They come from Zeus’ inner monologue as the thoughts of a smart guy who didn’t access an education you got themes, but not names. He tells you about characters and what happens to them, and what he feels about that. And the references aren’t there just because. Each one illustrates a point Zeus wants to make, or is linked to some anecdote of his past.
Overall, a well written and entertaining book that remains in your mind after you have finished reading.
