The Protectors - Ray Hodgson

. .

Résumé :
Jack Walker begins life as a visually impaired child. He can see just enough to read with a strong magnifying glass. His one main mission as a child and teenager is the stop the bullying of vulnerable children. Jack's sexual exploits as a young man result in the birth of Jacob, the light of his life. A highlight of his life is his marriage to Jennifer his childhood friend when he loses touch with Jakob's mother. His journey takes him from being a helpless, bullied, blind teenager to the leader of an invincible gang that he calls The Protectors. En route he develops some very special skills. He relies upon his powerful dog, Merk, as well as his magnificent gang and his special skills. The first paragraph in the book sums up Jack's anxieties. Am I paranoid or does my mission in life attract enemies? I have concluded that both are true. My bedtime ruminations always focus on a vengeful gunman. I am not frightened of death, but the thought of an assassin's bullet does scare me. Fortunately, Jack has a Buddhist Guru who helps him to cope with these ruminations and also develop his special skills...
