About the Book

How many times can one person cheat certain death? How often will God look down and steer him clear of well-earned disaster and grace him with good fortune instead? How long will that arrogant, obnoxious son-of-a-bitch remain ungrateful for the good things life has provided for him maintaining that he deserves better. Such is the position of the main character in this writing. He’s good at what he does, but has problems choosing the right path. He has a distrust of politicians; even those he knows nothing about. He won’t work for anyone he doesn’t respect and makes up the rules as he goes along. He always has a plan B in the back of his brain for whatever situation he may encounter. He’s not paranoid, but he knows that he’s going to get screwed by you. If he senses that you present a potential problem, he will screw you first – guaranteed. This guy is a walking train wreck looking for a place to crash and burn. He loves the Marine Corps and loves being an NIS Special Agent, but his ego and arrogance failed both miserably.
