MAC GOBER grew up with an unholy appetite for violence and brutality. After a stormy adolescence, his unhappy family life drove him to military service in the jungles of Viet Nam where he honed his skills in the fine arts of karate and getting stoned.

When Mac returned home, he left the war behind, but it wouldn't leave him. Horrifying flashbacks of screaming, dying voices and staccato gunfire poisoned Mac's days and haunted his nights.

Only an outlaw motorcycle gang provided enough camaraderie, cruelty and craziness to give Mac a sense of belonging. A craving for the "adrenaline high" of the brutal biker lifestyle sent him roaring across America, leaving a trail of bruised, broken victims behind.

Finally, his body reeking, his mind fried, his emotions twisted by paranoia and rage, Mac was headed for certain death. But then he had an encounter with another dying man. This One was hanging on a cross. And He loved Mac Gober -just the way he was.

This encounter changed Mac forever.
