The mercenary known as Lone Wolf died in a hail of bullets during an overseas mission.
When he opens his eyes again, he’s Lin Chen, a frail young man in a remote northern mountain village in the 1960s.
His home is bare, with drafts coming in from every direction. His two older brothers were just killed by a black bear, and their bodies weren’t even recovered whole. The two sisters-in-law left behind are one so thin a gust of wind could knock her down, the other so hungry she sees stars, yet they give him the last half of their coarse-grain flatbread.
Clutching the bread, Lin Chen makes a vow.
He’ll protect this family.
He’ll protect these two women.
He’ll kill that bear with his own hands.
From a frail young man who hunted rabbits with his bare hands to a formidable hunter who takes on bears deep in the mountains.
