Synopsis

A boy succeeds through hard work and imaginative violence. Young Anson Kerrigan begins his tale atop a tall red horse, leading an elderly mule, starving and alone in country both strange to him and full of hostiles. His possessions are minimal, and long worn. While the boy copes, sometimes at great effort and in tremendous danger, there is a reality to how he copes that makes this little western a gripping read.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

The son of a father who was a mule skinner and small town constable and a mother who was born in a sod hut, and actually arrived in California via Conestoga wagon; learning the old western skills and ethos by assimilation, David Lloyd Sutton spent his first eleven years living in a tent, neighbored by deer, coyotes, and bobcats, helping to raise the family’s food, and employing many of the techniques he has used in this book. From the age of twelve, he was spending all his free time, often gained by playing hooky, living off his rifle in the wild country inland of Santa Barbara, his birthplace. He is still most at home in wilderness. Volunteering into the Marine Corps at eighteen, he served two (also voluntary) combat tours in Vietnam. “I was a bloodthirsty child” he says. Since then he has captained an abalone boat, tested lightning arresters, and was, solo, the Gadget Skunk Works for Hughes’ infrared research facility for a decade. In the New Hebrides, working for the real Phoenix Foundation, he wrote a constitution for their independence movement whilst training militia officers and running a police force. The socialists won, and he’s on the proscribed persons list in that place now. Possessed of black belts in Karate and Kobudo, a long time NRA instructor, he has some authority in his fighting action writing. Amusingly, science fiction is his first literary love, and he has one completed novel in that genre being marketed and another just entering the launch bay.
