Execution Quote by Mark Greaney
““As Court powered through the nearly impenetrable growth, he settled on his new plan—a plan that would require skill he was not sure he possessed, execution he was not sure he could pull off, and luck he was not sure he could count on. But it was better than dancing down the road ducking rounds from a truck full of rifles.””
