This is actually ben doing the typing, but this is Reid's new book. Here comes the introduction:
It takes physical prowess to remain standing after taking a single gunshot to the chest. It takes purpose to withstand a second. The third requires one of two things, extreme opposites of each other, pure love, or hate. To withstand another, a fourth gunshot to the chest, requires either a really bad marksman, or a man devoted to a higher calling. Tim Nielson was shot, on videotape, five times to the chest. One bullet pierced his kidney, another his left lung, and another his heart. No one, no civilian, no police officer, no marine, no SEAL remains standing after taking 5 bullets to the chest. No, Tim Nielson didn't live. But that's not the point. The man took five slates of lead to the chest and didn't go down! This changes everything. The case has taken on an entirely new meaning for me. I am not after the killer because he's a bad person, because he murdered someone. I'm not after the killer because it's my job and it's what I'm paid to do. I'm looking for the man who murdered Tim Nielson because, after he put 5 shots into the poor bastard, Tim looked into his eyes, and made him take a sixth.
