Doug's talent as a storyteller is unmistakable. The tales he
recounts herein are engaging, sometimes sobering, and often very
funny. Sparing himself no scrutiny in looking back on his career as
a repossession agent, he holds the reader's attention and gives
advice by example (even when the example illustrates what not to
do). Doug's conclusions about self-defense, drawn from the lessons
learned during his career, are surprisingly insightful. While
editing his stories, I found myself both entertained and informed.
These sensations are, for someone in my line of work, both rarities
- and they are rarer still when they occur simultaneously. This
book shares some of Doug's experiences and the lessons he learned
as a martial artist and a young man during his eight years in the
world of repossessions. During those eight years he would repossess
hundreds of items, ranging from cars, trucks, motorcycles,
airplanes, farm equipment, limousines, and hearses to home
appliances and other things long since forgotten. Ninety-nine
percent of the time things would go well. The stories in this book
encompass the small one percent of the time when things turned bad.
Most of the stories in this book have some application to
self-defense, as teaching life lessons on self-defense is part of
the purpose of the book. Others he's included because he hopes you
will find them entertaining.
