Dr. Gerald Vincent Bull was one of the worlds foremost experts on ballistics and weapons systems, until his lifeless body was discovered on the doorstep of his Brussels apartment. Prior to his murder, this Canadian scientist was contracted by the government of Saddam Hussein to build an extraordinary artillery piece known as the supergun.
