Vincent Majestyk had had enough - enough fighting, enough war, enough death. He knew too well the feel of the recoil, the smell of gunpowder, the sight of a human target falling. So when he took off his uniform and became a civilian, he swore that he would never kill again. Majestyk was content with himself and the world, and no one knew about his past.
