Book beginning:
The slug's impact wasn't anything like in the Hong Kong movies. It didn't throw Peter backward or knock him off his feet or send him twisting and flailing. No, it wasn't like that at all. His body just...went...limp. And it made no sense. He'd known for certain nobody would get hurt....Page 56:
"Lester," Gage said. "I know you're just a guy trying to get along, support yourself, and stay out of trouble."Book description:
