icon.png In many ways, Victor Storm is an average retiree. He lives a simple life, supported only on his pension, and he attends a class at the local community college. In other ways, Victor Storm is anything but average. He's a former Special Forces soldier, already retired at the age of 41. He doesn't own a car. He's haunted by his past, and he's taking a philosophy class to try to figure out the big truths.

When his quiet retirement is shattered by a random act of extreme violence, however, Victor is torn from the textbook and put on the front line of philosophy, asking the big questions. Then an inept bureaucracy drops the ball, and it's up to him to set things right. Unfortunately for the perpetrator, Victor Storm is more than up to the task.

This first book in the Crusader series shows how Victor Storm found a new life, by losing it all, in the mean days of winter.

This book is for anyone who ever wished he or she could make a difference. When you think of one person alone and screaming in the night, daring to do the things you don't, think of Victor Storm.
