Part of the gambit involves an idealistic American youth, fresh out of college, who joins a non-government humanitarian relief effort in war-torn Serbia and is casually tortured and murdered by a band of anonymous marauding outlaws led by a violent and dangerous psychopath who seems to have vanished after the deed was done.
The victim's grandfather, a self-made millionaire, seeks that which is almost impossible to obtain: justice. He wants his beloved grandson's killer brought to the United States and tried for murder before a court of law. For this, he is placed in contact with a man known only as Avenger.
How to Write
This is not a writing manual, nor a guide to grammar, nor to rhetoric. Obviously not: look at its length, or lack of it. It is only a small book aiming to help you form ideas about writing, and to write whenever you want to. Writing need not be an ordeal nor an impossible feat. It is a do-able task: one that becomes a pleasure when you get into it. Reading this book should make writing easier, and should keep you from breaking your head in attempts on the impossible. But I don’t guarantee masterpieces. In fact, I don’t mean to deal with creative writing. How could one ever generalize about the ways of creative writers? Their methods are individual to a fault: some pursue total spontaneity; some mull over poems for months and then
write them in a day
The object of this book is to attempt to tell the story of England's history for young children. Important events have been given in fuller detail than is usual, so as to awaken an interest in them, though no story has been told simply because it is interesting. The second part is intended for children a little older than those for whom the first part was written. Political changes, some of them of a complicated kind, occurred from time to time.
