Publisher's Summary

“I believe one of the biggest crimes you can commit is to break your code.” - Danny

Danny joined the Marines in 1967 and saw some of the worst fighting of the Vietnam War. Continually bombarded by the enemy, never knowing if he would live or die, each day was kill or be killed. Then his best friend and fellow Marine was injured by a mine and he was unable to save him. He was forced to listen to his friend’s cries for help until he died. Danny became angry, depressed, and numb. The only thing that made him feel alive again was killing. He came home from the war with a bad case of PTSD and couldn’t adapt to normal life.

To feed his need for killing, he became a hitman for a biker gang. Danny developed his own “Samurai Code”. He admired the way of the Samurai. As long as he followed his personal code, he could justify the murders.

Then one day he broke his code...and it broke him.

Based on real events, this is Danny’s story. It also contains psychological insight by Dr. Carlisle.

Warning: This book does not have graphic content, but some of the depictions of war have triggered PTSD in a small number of listeners.
