About the Author

Leo Gallagher was born in a small Ohio town during the depression. His father was a war veteran who was abusive to his wife and children. The boy hardly knew a father and raised himself. In the army at sixteen to escape a troubled youth, he served in occupied Japan and later went to Korea as an automatic rifleman in the summer of 1950. Wounded by an enemy hand grenade, he was returned to a stateside military hospital and subsequently discharged as a disabled veteran with time on his hands. He has several adventure stories published in magazines. This is his first attempt at a novel, a trilogy with a frankness that leaves nothing to the imagination.
