And certainly no one knew that he had been for sometime writing his memoirs, loaded with shocking revelations about himself, many of the most famous, dangerous and powerful people of the 20th century, and a good many of its most important events.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut now the word is out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Patrick McQuade (who also writes moderately popular science books under the pseudonym Chip Walter) has edited the first scandalous volume of the so-called “Quick Papers.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this first installment Quick reveals that he, not Teddy Roosevelt, led the charge up San Juan Hill, tells how he managed to not only remember the Maine, but solve the mystery of its destruction, and faced (despite all his best efforts to avoid it) one of the nastiest villains of the 20th century, all while cheating, skulking and running as fast as his legs would carry him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, if only he could get Bailey Stewart to fall in love with him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Like finding Hunter Thompson in a time warp!\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(NOTE: THIS IS THE SERIALIZED VERSION OF THIS BOOK.
