following the life of Lucas North, John Bateman and Dan Algernon Delarmy.
By reading any further, you state, that you are at least 18 years old.
The following content contains violence and situations, which might be offensive for some readers.
So be warned and do not read on, if James Bond like situations do not appeal to you.
Now that Lucas North is officially declared dead by an "elegant", "non-violent" death
(The pregnant woman losing her child by seeing John Bateman crashing into a car deck directly in front of her and all the other passers by having a shock not counted.)
I am free to give him a second life. Was it not a saying for another spy: "You Only Live Twice"?
The Second Life of Lucas North and John Bateman and a certain other man ...
You will later discover, that I indeed need both characters (Lucas and John) to make this story work. But more details will follow at a later time.
Only so much so far, the story will slowly unfold in short parts and posts at this blog.
I hope you will enjoy it and keep following.
