A husband and father, Chris Knight, becomes a “surviving victim.” He has, like so many others, lost his loved ones, his wife and five-year-old son, in a random massacre by gun violence. For months, he has agonized and grieved. Unable any longer to witness Knight’s depression and despair, his law partner finally intervenes and forces him to take a leave of absence. The change of scenery and physical activity help. But a dream, at first bringing joy, then the pain of renewed loss, breaks the mental prison of helplessness and uncertainty. Chris returns driven to seek answers for why no state legislatures or Congress have been able or willing to act effectively to control the presence of guns in America. As a result, Chris sets about to develop his own plans to challenge the gun-government complex that has placed gun ownership above all other rights of society. When elements in the gun lobby learn of his plans, things quickly get deadly.
“As a former prosecutor—I share Charles’s point of view 1,000
percent! As a youngster, I achieved the NRA’s rank of ‘Expert
Marksmanship,’ going through a rigorous multiyear test for both
rifles and handguns. I can categorically say today that I hate guns
and the needless carnage they cause in a civilized society.”
—Clifford S. Gibbons, President, Gibbons & Company
“Once again, Charles has accomplished authoring a book which is
well worth the time to read. I found it rewarding. His passions
intrigue me.”
—Kenn Stolte, Professional Portrait Photographer
“I’m completely impressed and in awe. As an inveterate reader, I’ve
always wondered how
authors do it. How do they sit down and create wonderful books that
draw the reader in? The book is very gripping and readable.”
—Carol Perone, Educator
“Interesting! Law & Order—Dick Wolf is one of the
more prolific producers, and he ‘rips’ from the headlines
regardless of what side it is on. Charles’s idea is such that I
really think it finds a voice and maybe continues to stir the
highly debated topic.”
—David Sacks, Principal, Ripley-Sacks Entertainment
