This is an actual chapter that was deleted before the book
was published. It's not available anywhere else in the world.* The Lost
Chapter answers a few questions about the disappearance of Seaman Apprentice
Jerome Gilbert, and explains some of the events leading up to the embassy
attack.
If you've already read Torpedo, you might enjoy
discovering a piece of the story that never made it into print. If you
haven't read Torpedo, the Lost Chapter is an excellent place to start
because it sets the stage for all the action that comes later.
WARNING: This chapter is not for the faint of
heart!
It's written from
the point of view of a nineteen-year-old Sailor who uses the sort of
language that nineteen-year-old Sailors frequently use. It contains rough
language, violence, and nefarious deeds. If you happen to be a gentle soul
(many of whom I count among my most beloved friends) this may not be for
you.
Still with me?
Well, you've been fairly warned.
