The Greywolf Saga Charles S Viar

Two grumpy old folks on a park bench... Matthew Wilson had been chief of the CIA's Mid East Division until President George W. Bush fired him for opposing the Iraq war. Three times divorced, Matt hates just about everyone - especially politicians. And he's not happy about his unwanted companion. Allison Nelson was once Hollywood's biggest star - and by all accounts, Playboy's hottest centerfold. But her life didn't work out either. Her husband dumped her, her manager stole her money and the public moved on. These days she's doing commercials for antacids, laxatives and adult diapers just to pay the rent. They feed the birds in silence until she suddenly asks Matt what his life would be if he could live it over again - this time, on his own terms. "Who would you be? What would you do?"Surprised by the question, Matt looks up at the sky for a long moment before leaning back against the bench and softly smiling. "Well," he says slowly. "I'd be larger than life - a mythic figure straight out of the Heroic Age... "And I'd save our country."
