Overview

How good is good enough? How bad is beyond hope? Do we control our fate or do we just get what we deserve? Are there really second chances in life? Is happily-ever-after real or just a cruel joke? John Carter, a.k.a. Dakota, served in the waning years of the Vietnam war as a surgical assassin for the C.I.A. His unmerciful savagery was his trademark as he did his patriotic duty with cold efficiency. Known in whispers as the fearful ConMa, the legendary ghost of the jungle, he and his partner killed dozens of strategic targets silently, unseen, and leaving no trace or witnesses. Until he met a girl who reminded him of his humanity. He believed that, when the war would end, he'd take her home and they'd live happily ever after. With her, he built a life in Saigon away from the horrors of war. A daughter, a happy home, and he'd learn to keep his bliss from distracting him from his bloody work, and keep the darkness and evils of war outside of his door. Fate, in its cold, classic, cruelty, took a hand. The city fell to the invaders from the north, his family was lost to Viet Cong terrorists, he and his partner escaped with their lives. Alone and broken, he shook his fist at God, believing Him to be a vengeful, hateful God who toyed with men for some sort of depraved entertainment. In retaliation, he vowed to paint the world with the blood of his victims and anyone else who might get in his way. For such a man, is redemption even remotely possible? Is there any way to escape the past? Could happily-ever-after itself hope for a second chance?\ Author, Bob Pierce, weaves a complex and incredibly powerful story of love, hate, vengeance and the human struggle for redemption. This, his seventeenth novel, explores the depths of man's falling from grace, the often bewildering sense of drifting between Heaven and Earth and the frightening desperation of one who realizes that he has become so terribly distanced from God and very much alone. Awesome book, I really enjoyed it! -- Dick Wilbur
