Résumé

Blurred Images is a fictional story of Tommy Owens, a Marine Corps decorated sniper from the Vietnam War area. The story begins with his enlistment, initial training, and his assignments with the CIA. Tommy rotates back to the United States after setting several records for the number of kills and the longest kill by a Marine sniper. He accepts work for the CIA as a sniper and gets sent to Iraq, where he loses his sight in an ambush and roadside bomb. After being rotated back home, he realizes he is a seventy-two-year-old man trying to adapt to being blind and aging. He finds help from an illegal immigrant whom he hires as a live-in nurse and maid. They create a love-hate relationship that leads them to form a new CIA team as a blind, older rich man and nurse. The team accepts a mission in Brazil which could cost both of them their lives. A Marine Sniper I served with in Vietnam inspired this storyline through the stories he shared with me.
