    About this ebook

    Frank Jackson is a rectifier, he rights wrongs caused by senseless and desperate criminals. When the court system fails, he's there to exact his own high-powered vigilante justice.

    He's also a man without a past, a man desperately seeking what he has lost.

    In the first of a series of electrifying short stories, a coma and subsequent amnesia thrusts Frank Jackson into an unfamiliar world of intrigue and adventure where he relies upon his gut instinct to survive.

      CHAPTER ONE

      Water. Roiling. Icy. Water so cold you can’t talk, you can’t scream, you can hardly breathe. Dark. An arm around his neck. Someone propelling him through the water. A nasty smell. Snowflakes falling from the sky. A cold wind. Out of the water. Freezing. Time to sleep.

      Frank? Talk to me. This is your old buddy, Linc…Lincoln McGowan.

      Frank Jackson’s dark eyes stared at McGowan without a hint of recognition.

      The doctor on the opposite side of Frank’s hospital bed closely assessed Frank’s respiratory rate as well as his chest movements. She glanced at the monitor above his bed and said to McGowan, He’s been off the ventilator and breathing on his own for an hour now. All of his vitals are good. I would imagine his primary problem will be the cobwebs in his head. Talk to him about some shared times. That might get him to remember you. Be advised, he has been in a coma for several weeks. Don’t expect a miracle. She pulled a pen from her side pocket and jotted a note in Jackson’s patient chart.

      McGowan shifted his weight and leaned on the bed rails. He smiled and said, You gave us a scare, you big dope. Do you know how hard it is for an old guy like me to drag your carcass out of the water?

      Frank’s gaze shifted between Linc and the doctor.
