When Pell learns that everything he has planned for and worked for is no longer possible, he sinks into a deep depression that turns him into an alcoholic with no reason to live. In truth, he wants to die, but can’t bring himself to commit suicide. So he spends the next year or so despondent and alienated from his family and friends until he finds himself passed out in the bottom of a muddy ditch in the middle of the night. Drunk and unable to think straight, he sees three glowing figures in long robes standing in the ditch next to him. But neither their feet nor the hems of their robes touch the muddy ground beneath them. Noticing this unnatural anomaly, he assumes he’s still so drunk that he’s delusional and seeing things that don’t exist. However, it doesn’t take long before he discovers the three figures he sees aren’t really alcohol spawned illusions. And suddenly, his broken life changes dramatically and forever. * * * No longer merely a useless drunk, Pell takes charge of his life. And the first thing he plans to do is make those who ruined his life pay for what they did. But to do that, he has to learn how to defend himself. It takes a few years to turn himself into a dangerous weapon. And once he does, he goes after those who’d destroyed what had been so precious to him.
