Not Free SF Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shan (Hardcover)
Jake Maroc's family have had it rough, and this has been rough on him. He decides to get back into the spirit of the whole martial arts thing, rather than using it to take out ganglords.Not going to be that easy though, as there are still spies, communists and other undersirables around to be dealth with. |
