Jack John M Meade

After a storied career, Jack O'Brien was calling it quits! His body and the concerns of his wife and family had convinced him to toss the baton to younger colleagues eager to create their legacies. "It was a young man's game," he reasoned, and though the world was arguably in worse shape than when he first put on a U. S. Navy uniform, Jack had fought a good fight against a cruel evil that took on many forms and causes. But leaving before the job was finished was not his style but then again, his decision wasn't all about him. In the end, Jack's sense of duty took a knee... Gwen's words penetrating his warrior's armor. "Listen, Jack, our clocks are ticking away. Have you thought about spending more quality time together? I hope it's not when we're parked next to one another in a home for seniors?"And so, the man became a noncombatant for the first time in 47 years and just when he started getting used to his new role. He met Mariano and Diego Montilla...exiles from a corrupt Venezuelan regime intent on settling some scores. What was the old warrior to do?
