    About this ebook

    Before Tank, there was just Jerry.

    Jerry, who went to school and sought an escape from the hand that life and fate had dealt him.

    Jerry, who had a good heart and couldn't help but try to do the right thing when an impossible situation crosses his path.

    Jerry, who was once engaged by both sides of The Eternal War before he even knew it existed.

    You think you know Jerry.

    You think you know Tank.

    You don't.
