Gray's Talent

While an infantryman in Korea, Robert Grayson demonstrated a unique ability to accept every challenge, threat, and stress-filled situation without physical or mental confusion or excitement. No matter the closeness of probable death or the necessity of personally killing the enemy in the closest combat, Grayson remained abnormally calm--unshaken, alert, and swift in his deadly response.

The federal government beyond the military had a use for that special talent, and Gray entered an ultra-secretive service that every authority still denies ever existed.

Where most faltered and suffered shortened careers, Robert Grayson thrived within the unrelenting tension of life and death determinations. But times change and governments move on.

Within the burgeoning Politically Correct and CYA federal service environment, Grayson's special skills were feared and resented rather than admired until they no longer became tolerable. He and his special ability were officially retired. His lengthy service was expunged from records and if somehow mentioned, it was vehemently denied.

Which granted "Gray" Grayson even greater freedom to pursue those interests and activities that he did best.
