About this ebook
How do you kill a man who has Lady Luck wrapped around his finger?
The man known as The Gambler went from loser to ruler almost overnight. Now he sits at the head of all tables. And those he toppled, the mobsters getting his scraps, they want him dead.
But rumor has it that The Gambler has a cosmic cheat. A piece of science fiction come to life that twists all probability in his favor.
If you believe in that sort of thing. The hitman they call Snake Eyes, he doesn't. His dice are loaded. So is his gun.
Let the games begin.

J. D. Brink
If taking a college fencing class, eating from the trash can, and smelling like an animal were qualifications for becoming a sword-swinging barbarian, J. D. Brink might be Conan’s protégé. But since that career path seemed less than promising, he has instead been a sailor, spy, nurse, and officer in the U.S. Navy, as well as a gravedigger, insurance adjuster, and school teacher in civilian life. Today (fall, 2014) he and his family live in Japan, where he's providing a bad example for all Americans. In his writing, as in life, Mr. Brink enjoys dabbling in multiple genres.
