A small town just outside of San Antonio is like any other town you know, save for the fact that it has become the focus of national attention in a very short time. This benign rural community, where everybody feels safe, suddenly finds itself front and center; bearing witness to a war which began long ago. By no means conventional, this is a war waged by a single hyper-intelligent stranger, haunted to the point of insanity by his past, and those who have set about to use him in their calculated chess match to win their vision of the greater common good. The political motivation to play this game is counter-balanced by the relentless ambition for each side to reap revenge. Will this small town suffer the collateral consequences of such actions? Will justice prevail? Who is the arbiter of justice? There is only one way to find out. Finish the game.
The two main characters in this fictional setting who hail from vastly different origins, are suddenly thrust upon each other. Anton, possibly in possession of nuclear material, has just cause to seek vengence. Officer Hill must choose with whom he will align. The decision is difficult as the facts appear skewed to fit the agenda of vengful combatants on both sides. The story's tone lays the foundation for readers to search their own convictions, if given the same set of circumstances. Choices made will forever change history.
