A Relic Restored Frank Pettingill

In a once bright and shining jewel on the East Coast, organized crime has begun to run rampant. The citizens live in constant fear and apathy, fed up with the corrupt police force and brutality of the local gangs. As if stepping from the pages of history, a relic of a warrior has begun to fight back. A towering suit of armor with glowing red eyes strikes fear into the hearts of those who would do harm to the innocent. The story is told from the perspective of Tacitus O'Neil, The curator of the Gloucester City Museum of History. Tacitus was paralyzed from the waist down when a gang war spilled into his museum. Still trapped within his chair, Tacitus' bitter narrative combined with his search for reason has turned him into an excellent investigator. Step into a world of high-tech steam power and onto the gritty streets as our armored friend fights against corruption and Tacitus tries to solve the deeper meanings behind the actual source of it in Gloucester. There is a darkness growing in the city. After Grady's attempt to capture White Hilt the White Lotus Cartel has made a move of their own. Will Tacitus heal before they can claim their prize?
