A quote from his hero, Nicholas Gambit, explains: “growing up in a Kansas City ghetto, societal expectations for me were minimal. I was expected to kill and eventually be killed, a mere product of my environment.” <span> </span>That, like his creator, Gambit has survived to age 64 and lived to tell his compelling story gives readers a powerful rationale for joining him on his crawl through the sewer. How many even make it out, much less can tell the tale in a cogent, entertaining, and thoughtful manner?</span></strong><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Tahoma, 'sans-serif';color:#2a2a2a;"></span></p> <p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Tahoma, 'sans-serif';color:#2a2a2a;"><span>-<span style="font:7pt 'Times New Roman';">       </span></span></span>Kay Carstens – Freelance professional reviewer<span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Tahoma, 'sans-serif';color:#2a2a2a;">, formerly with Penton Publishing</span></p>
