Gangs are responsible for over 80 percent of the crime in the United States. The cost of gang violence is staggering. In many communities, no one feels safe walking down his or her own streets-and that, Dan Googen feels, is simply too high a cost to pay.
Dan was a soldier, trained in combat overseas. When he returns home to see that his own neighborhood is held captive by a violent invasion force of its own, he springs into action. He goes undercover and begins to live the gangland life. What he doesn't count on is how his life will be affected by the friendships he forms with the members of the gangs. His new secret life is in bitter conflict with his ideals and goals. Can he do what needs to be done-or will these new friendships test his resolve?
While living undercover, Dan befriends Tiny, one of the gang members. With Dan's help, Tiny is able to accomplish the unthinkable: he breaks free from the gangs and enrolls in college. There, he becomes a breakout basketball star; his life is now on an unstoppably positive path. When Tiny's dreams of playing pro ball finally come true, he makes good on his promise to help the kids he left behind in the hood. He comes home, a local hero determined to do anything he can to help.
Tiny receives the answer to his prayers ... but not the one he expected.

Gang Slayer
Chapter One
Seeing Loved Ones
On a makeshift court in Afghanistan, soldiers took time out to play a little basketball. Gunnery Sergeant Dan Googen was driving hard to the hoop when he heard the colonel call out, "Sergeant Googen!" Dan left the game, limping slightly, and headed over to him.
"Yes, sir?"
"You're wanted in Kandahar. You leave right away. Get your things together because from what I understand, you won't be back."
Dan replied, "That makes no sense, sir. What about the mission? I'm in command of next week's raid."
"I know how important the mission is, but these are your orders. There's nothing more to discuss. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, sir!"
Seeing the look on Dan's face, his best friend, Tim, headed over to see what was going on.
"What's up?"
"I'm not sure," Dan replied, "Colonel told me that my orders are to leave, and I won't be back."
Tim asked in a concerned tone, "Did they say why?"
"No, he didn't, but from what he said, I'm out of here today."
A jeep pulled up, and the driver yelled, "Sergeant Googen!"
Surprised, Dan said to Tim, "This has got to be a joke. I just got my orders; this couldn't be for me already." As Dan walked over to the jeep with a slight limp, Tim remarked, "I can see your hip is bothering you."
Dan tried to hide it, but was unable to, "That old injury, it bothers me more when I walk than anything else. It comes and goes, some times it doesn't bother me for years."
Approaching the jeep, Dan stated, "I'm Googen."
The driver seemed rushe
