Please enjoy this excerpt:
As he strolled down the sidewalk to his cruiser in the parking lot, he met news anchor Charity Reynolds.
โGood morning, Captainโ
โWhat brings you to the firing range?โ
โWeโre covering a story on the recruit class. You know anything interesting about it?โ
Although heโd never met any of them, he knew plenty about a disparate group of men and women, ranging from youngsters aspiring to protect the public and triumph as heroes, to middle-agers desperate to stake down a meaningful claim in life, to a sinister few aiming to milk positions of authority for all the ill-gotten profits they were worth. And the unimaginable costs in family and soul each one of them would pay for the privilege. But face to face with the news-industrial complexโs mouthpiece, he just shut up.
โDonโt know a thing. But I wish them all good luck. Theyโll need it.โ
Event Location: 7719 E Lamar Alexander Pkwy, Townsend, TN, United States, Tennessee 37882
