    About this ebook

    When Army Ranger Rainy Beausoliel returns from Afghanistan in a wheelchair, he just wants to be left alone. His bitter Vietnam vet grandfather, Big Petey, his high school buddy, Guy, who was a partner in a stupidity that cost Rainy a college basketball scholarship, and the Army, especially his rehab counsellor, Becca Mullins, keep hassling Rainy to accept his paralysis and move on. Rainy fights off their unwanted help until Guy is murdered by a Vietnamese drug dealer. To avenge that death Rainy and Big Petey, despite the long odds, become warriors once again. Armed with his Ranger skills and a tricked out wheelchair Rainy goes into battle.

    Neil Hetzner

    Neil (aka C.N.) Hetzner is married, has two children, and lives a mile from the edge of the continent in Rhode Island. Since his inauspicious birth in Indiana in 1948 he has worked as a cook, millwright, newspaper columnist, business professor, vacuumist, printer's assistant, landscaper, railroader, caterer, factory worker, consulting editor, and, currently, real estate agent. In addition to working, which he likes a lot, and writing, which he likes even more, he enjoys reading, weaving, cooking, and intrepidly screwing up house repairs. His writing runs the gamut from young adult futurism to stories about the intricacies of families; however, if there is a theme that links his writing, it is the complicated and miraculous mathematics of mercy.
