Seven employees of a financial company are called to work for a special Saturday meeting. When they arrive, they learn that their employer plans to end their lives as well as their careers. If they choose to not drink poisoned mimosas, he plans to shoot them all. The underlings fight back, but that may not be enough as their boss has disabled the elevators and rigged the stairways with sarin gas. Whoever is in charge is determined that no one will leave the building alive, and has enlisted the help of an office worker turned assassin to kill everyone on the employee roster.

Severance Package is like Kill Bill meets Alias. It is full of shifting allegiances, secret identities, and shady organizations that may or may not be working for the government. The plot is quick as most of the book is action: very violent action. Tarantino fans will love this slick and violent thriller.
