Similar is not necessarily the same.

OPENING DAY is a coming of age story. A Boy in the MidWestern United States celebrates an anticipated rite of passage with his grandfather.
* * * * *
* * * * *
There are stories of the hunt that contain gore, the thrill of the chase, adrenalin of the kill, and the butchering of large game. Despite the setting, OPENING DAY is not one of those ‘hunt’ stories. The seed of this short story stems from a list I keep of inspiring moments. I was raised in the MidWestern United States at a time when the rituals and rites of passage to manhood were not dissimilar to the one in this story. Mine was a generation spent with grandfathers while our fathers fought a war thirteen thousand miles away. The inspiration to write this story sprung from the new millennium, new wars across the globe, and my many friends and relatives that are now grandparents. I wrote this for the grandfathers, fathers, and grandsons that have hunted here and abroad.

Meet Cameron Kincaid – Veteran Légionnaire.
Before Cameron Kincaid was a New York Chef, he was an elite covert Légionnaire.
Skills good to have. Because a coveted prize has surfaced in New York and drawn Cameron into an 800-year-old war.
In 1208 the clandestine Rex Mundi began the Albigensian crusade in an effort to gain control of the treasure held by the Cathar. For thirty-six years the Languedoc region south of France was washed in blood. By 1244 the last of the Cathari were eradicated when the Château de Montségur finally fell. Though the Rex Mundi searched everywhere, the Cathari Treasure remained elusive.
After thwarting assassins in the library of his restaurant Le Dragon Vert Cameron, a suave former Legionnaire, vows to escort a young woman and her guardian to safety. Cameron learns from the two the secret Cathari faith and of the Rex Mundi that believe the women are key to the long sought Cathari Treasure.
Relentlessly pursued from the Le Dragon Vert in New York, through the streets of Boston, Montreal, Toronto, and Quebec, Cameron tires of fleeing. The Rex Mundi will ultimately wipe out the Cathari to get the treasure unless Cameron takes the battle to them, a confrontation to seal his fate or ensure the survival of the two women and a faith he does not fully understand.
