The Cowardly Lion — James Strauss

The Cowardly Lion is what the survivor of the Thirty Days Has September had to become in appearance and presentation in order to return home from becoming Junior and survive in a culture where none of the tools he used so effectively to control life around him and survive had any applicability.Those actions he learned created habit patterns that had to be shed like a snake’s molting skin.The criminal punishments and social abandonment the American culture dispenses on people who use violence to accomplish their goals or even survival is draconian in nature. The tools, the habit patterns, and predatory behavior Junior had grown to become part of had to be abandoned, although never forgotten.To discover what happened to the companies of Marines and Junior himself the book The Cowardly Lion must be read from beginning to end.
