My protagonist then begins to get not only younger, but also larger and stronger. Gradually, he discovers that it's likely that he'll be immortal, unless he dies in action.
The action starts with a journey through a gritty, inner-city environment, with his religious client. My protagonist thinks and fights his way through a very realistic, very hostile place [I grew up, or whatever I did, in such an area.] His religious client wan'ts to kill him, but he figures out a way to kill his client instead. He then becomes involved with alien drug smugglers and is captured by the alien Primitive Culture Police. The PCP dispatch him to kill a very dangerous alien and then they'll kill him. Step, by step my protagonist manages to survive any number of organizations [including many alien organizations] who want to kill him. He doesn't just fight his way clear, he also makes himself invaluable to some of his former enemies and they no llnger want to kill him, because he's making them too much money. However, he find himself continuously on the hit list of new organizations.
In the background, my protagonist searches for six scrolls that contain the field theory for the universe. His searches, however, bring him to the attention of at least demi-gods, who [you guessed it] want to kill him.
You want action? Hoo-boy, does
Second Chance give you action! However, there's also thinking that's very clearly explained.
Since the stories are selling well, people like what
Second Chance has to offer. However, I am trying to get useful feedback, in order to 'give the readers more of what they want.'
