A great action-packed story of reluctant vigilante Sebastian Tufts, First Gulf War Veteran against a tough, mean , murderous gang in LA. This book is a thriller intertwined with much knowledge of what is going on in the gangs of LA. The book is a page turner that you won't want to put down until you are finished. Suspense, intrigue, and action delicately woven in a great novel. A must read, you won't be disappointed!

This book is an excellent classic to add to the shelves of all action and suspense thriller book lovers! It's inevitably the master product of keen imagination and of focused research. Roger D. Walker does an excellent job bringing this book to life with an action packed and suspense filled storyline that will leave you turning the pages with anticipation. Far greater than the story itself is the heart behind the writer. It's a great book, written for an even greater cause! I highly recommend it!

Remember that series of movies about the substitute teacher that was really a semi-retired mercenary come to set things straight? Or any of the Dirty Harry movies? Do you like it when the good guy wins and do you like it even more when the good guy really isn't all that different from you and me?

Roger Walker has created a believable story of street gang violence that permeates newspapers and the evening news in many places in America. The War Vet hero of the story doesn't receive a hero's welcome, in fact, he's barely making it. He returns home to discover the kind of violence he thought he left behind at the end of his military career. And when the going gets tough, well the tough gets his butt kicked. But then later on... well, maybe the book is following a formula of sorts and you can guess how it turns out. Still, it's a great book, full of action and intrigue and just enough humor to relieve the tension when it's needed. It's a smart book too...check out Roger's Bio, this guy has a heck of a resume!

Finally, notice that a significant portion of the proceeds are going to a great cause. I checked it out; it's legit. So is the book!
