Taxi Land / A Novel

Milo Burress was an Army veteran who'd come back from the war a little worse for wear, and instead of coming home to a ticker tape parade in honor of a war hero with a Purple Heart, he ended up living on the streets begging for chump change.

But not for long.

Several years later, after a lot of hard work and determination, he owned his own taxi service, his hopes and dreams of starting a new life finally come true. What he hadn't expected, though, was fate tossing him another curve ball, in the form of Gilbert Fox, a career criminal who takes a ride in the taxi one night, and proceeds to try and rob Milo - who responds to the robbery attempt with a .38 caliber bullet.

Now he has the whole Fox family on his trail, but Milo isn't worried too much; he's former military, spent a lot of time sniffing out the enemy in the bush, and if the Fox family wants a war, Milo will gladly oblige them, because now he is out for blood, too.
