The wise say that when you seek revenge, first go dig two graves, but is this preparation unnecessary if you can find a fast speedboat? A tale of loss and perhaps redemption, the first of a new series. Not many codes in this story, and they're mostly used incidentally. Lots of gunporn and gratuitous violence!
