Shepard then proceeds to start from scratch in a new city, starting homeless, and I won't ruin it for you, but sets out to accomplish a set goal. Quick read and an interesting one, if you liked N&D, then this at least tells the other side of the story to Ehrenriech's pre-constructed agenda.

It sounds interesting, JohnnyBGood, I'll check it out.
