Background

Born in Hong Kong to a Japanese father and a Chinese mother, Keith Kogane moved with his family to the US when he was three years old. At age six Keith's father began training him in kung fu, and continued for six more years; then, tragically, not long after Keith's twelfth birthday, both his parents died in an accident. Moving in with an aunt and uncle, Keith coped with his loss by plunging himself more deeply into martial arts training, expanding from kung fu to t'ai-chi, jujjitsu, aikido, and every other discipline for which he could find a teacher.

Unsure of his future, at age eighteen Keith unlisted in the United States Marine Corps; he soon came to love the perfect discipline and order the Corps offered him, and spent several years as a field reconnaissance specialist, earning several commendations in the process.

When he was 24 Keith met a young woman named Beverly Hagel while on furlogh in New York City; shortly thereafter he transferred out of his recon assignment to a permanent position at a base near where Beverly worked, and within three months Keith asked her to marry him

Seven weeks before their wedding date, Beverly was killed in an airplane accident.

Since then, Keith has been on a kind of numbed autopilot, working an administrative job during the day and teaching martial arts in the evenings, waiting for his life to take shape and make sense again. It begins to when he receives a visit from a Galaxy Garrison officer named Hawkins...
