Aprašymas

The first paragraph in the Protectors sums up Jack Walker's anxieties: "Am I paranoid or does my mission in life attract enemies? I have concluded that both are true. My bedtime ruminations always focus on a vengeful gunman".
Jack Walker begins life as a visually impaired child. He can see just enough to read with a strong magnifying glass. His one main mission as a child and teenager is to stop the bullying of vulnerable children. When attending the Leeds School for the Blind he forms a gang of seven who successfully achieve this aim.
Jack's sexual exploits as a young man result in the birth of Jacob, the light of his life. His journey takes him from being a helpless, bullied, blind teenager to the leader of an invincible gang that he calls 'The Magnificent Seven' or 'The Protectors'. En route he develops some very special skills that involve mind over matter. The Protectors have a major task to accomplish which is described towards the end of the book. Jack displays enormous courage. He does rely upon his powerful dog, Merc, as well as his magnificent gang and his special skills.
