His long-term dream was just about to start. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePerhaps even forming his own Walker Mercenary company and hiring people to work with him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExcept just as he finally moves forward, his home world is about to take a gigantic leap backward. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith Wayne at the center of it all, without ever truly realizing it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William D.
