Thrust reluctantly back to the front lines in a war he didn’t want, Holland has to navigate between bloodthirsty terrorists, ruthless assassins and unscrupulous politicians, all of them threats to the only family Holland has left.
For some problems, blood is the only solution.
With his country on the brink of destruction at the hands of enemies both foreign and domestic, Holland pursues justice, revenge and healing.
Finding any or all of them, however, will exact a heavy price.
Holland will soon learn that the most precious things in life are NOT free – and they sometimes require payment in blood.

The resulting fight will decide the future of their country, but it may cost them everything.

Will he be paralyzed by the fear of inevitable loss, or will he ‘sing his death song, and die like a hero going home?’

Humor/Satire
The ‘How to Steer Your Kid’ Series
In the first installment of the How to Steer Your Kid series, M.P. MacDougall presents a string of hilarious vignettes about his upbringing as the youngest of twelve kids. He spent his childhood surrounded by obnoxious cows, Big Meanies, perilous expeditions, ravenous Sasquatches, mindless herds of picnickers, and meals that would make Julia Child roll over in her grave. His only means to survive it all was to assume a powerful alter-ego: Jet Screamer!
In this, the second installment in the How to Steer Your Kid series, M. P. MacDougall returns with a cast of irreverent characters and hilarious, only slightly embellished stories. There’s something for everyone who ever grew up in a somewhat weird family.
MacDougall relates a variety of slapstick adventures – from taxidermy gone horribly wrong, to near-drownings while encased in a sleeping bag, to being hunted by a mythical monster with a sadistic sense of humor. Redneck neighbors and red-hot peppers are no match for the erstwhile Jet Screamer. Suffering personal injury to his extremities and personal insults to his psyche, MacDougall survives it all with a steady diet of Meat Sandwiches – his self-proclaimed Food for REAL Men.
