Scott McEwen
“The God of War is a fickle son of a bitch, his father had always been fond of saying. Don't ever trust his ass.”
Scott McEwen, One-Way Trip

Simon W. Clark
“Jake’s shirt and jeans gave off a business vibe with the hint of a wide range of corporate occupations from sales to IT. Only politicians and real estate agents wore a suit and tie these days. Dressed to push an agenda. A man wearing a two-piece suit and tie would be remembered and many people became guarded, sus of the wearer’s intention. Guarded meant memorable.
Blend into the environment; do not stick out.”
Simon W. Clark, Dead Mercenary's Trail
