Saving Alice Ryan

Over Jon Ryan's very long life he's managed to make a lot of very powerful enemies. Mostly he's accomplished this antisocial feat by exterminating them because they posed a threat to galactic peace or common decency. As with any action, there can be an equal and opposite reaction. Now a fundamental force of existence named Xy¡ndor is after Jon. You see, Xy¡ndor's sole purpose is to spawn chaos. So he's dead set on killing Jon because our hero snuffs out chaos on a routine basis. Most likely this Xy¡ndor character must've had a really troubled childhood, right?

But Xy¡ndor has observed Jon for a very long time. He knows that it's right there next to impossible to kill Jon Ryan. The man's irritatingly resourceful, skilled, and lucky. So instead of a direct confrontation, Xy¡ndor elects to kidnap Jon's mother, Alice Ryan. He will use her to get his vengeance on Jon. Hey, here's a question for you. What do you think happens to anyone who even thinks about harming one hair on Jon's dear mother's head? Yeah, something very not good, that's what happens to that individual.

So it's game on. Alice is missing and Jon's going to find her if it's that last thing he ever does. The problem is it might very well be the last thing he ever does. You see, Xy¡ndor has a couple outstandingly useful assets on his side. One, he's transcendentally powerful, able to manipulate the very fabric of space/time at will. And, he's not actually alive. That's gonna make killing him awfully darn hard, now won't it?

Who's your money on? Jon because he's the lethal human that he is? Or do you favor Xy¡ndor, an eternal lifeless demigod? Well, read Saving Alice Ryan and find out where the smart money is. You'll be so glad you did!
