had ever known. His boss chewed him out hourly, his girlfriend ignored

for Wes to do but wile away the days and die in his slow, clock-punching
rut. Until he met a woman named Fox. After his estranged father is murdered,
the deadly sexy Fox recruits Wes into the Fraternity, a secret society
that trains Wes to avenge his dad's death by unlocking his dormant powers.
As she teaches him how to develop lightning-quick reflexes and phenomenal
agility, Wes discovers this team lives by an ancient, unbreakable code:
carry out the death orders given by fate itself. With wickedly brilliant
tutors--including the Fraternity's enigmatic leader, Sloan--Wes grows to
enjoy all the strength he ever wanted. But, slowly, he begins to realize

That is, until Fred discovers his wife has been unfaithful and instantly
descends into a blubbering mess. Ok, so maybe Fred is far more blowhard
than kick-ass hero. But when he sets out on a last-ditch quest to meet
his kung-fu idol--the 8-time undefeated champ and star of the "Seven Rings
of Pain" trilogy, Chuck "The Truck" Wallace--Fred winds up on a wild, comical
journey that will take him from egomaniacal bluster all to the way to becoming
the stand-up man of his delusional dreams. |
