For Commander Patrick Murphy every new mission serves as a reminder. They are a reminder of a promise he made and always must keep. Without that promise, he'd have no reason to keep going home... This eBook also contains the bonus short story: Josie Dorri and the Coffee Ban.About the Author: Little is known about Desmond Shepherd. Some say he came out of nowhere, born from the mind of an insane man with multiple personalities. Others conclude it is all an act; like the fictional characters he writes about, he is another character with a writer pecking at a keyboard controlling his actions. Whatever the case, Desmond Shepherd writes for your enjoyment. To stimulate imagination. To provide an escape from your everyday life. He thanks you for riding the fictional journeys he writes; as does the writer who breathes life into him.
