"Here's a man who lives a life of danger. Everywhere he goes, he stays a stranger. Wingo Perseus has created the perfect high adventure secret agent man, and introduced our hero to his greatest nemesis: flight delays. Perseus' ear for dialogue and ability to create loneliness in a crowded room is a storytelling wonder." - Brian Bouldrey, author of Honorable Bandit and The Sorrow of Elves.
