Synopsis

THERE IS A GENERATION by WH Buzzard is the first in a four book series satirizing Baby Boomers, the 1950's offspring of the Greatest Generation who grew into the 1960’s rebels that changed America forever. Best friends Tim and Hect happen upon an abandoned auto junkyard and switched from rabbit hunting to a game of “War” with their semi-automatic .22 caliber rifles. The fun abruptly ends, however, as a boyish prank goes badly awry. They decide to set fire to a pillbox bunker, actually an old deserted shack, and burn the enemy out. The boys fashion a Molotov cocktail from gas out of a wrecked truck and heave the bomb at the structure. The dry sun-baked wood bursts into flames faster than a pile of tumbleweeds. To their utter horror a fire-engulfed figure appears in a window of the shanty-inferno. Believing they just burned alive a hobo using the place for a shelter and fearing they will end up on a hot-seat called "Sparky," the popular nickname for the electric chair at Huntsville prison, the two flee into the desert. Now believing themselves fugitives from the law they must leave behind their self-centered lives of ease and carefree devilment. Neither could be less prepared to suffer hunger and thirst, merciless desert heat and life on the road, not to mention encountering con artists, wily street people, and never before imagined poverty and slums, plus the mean streets of what they thought to be "the wrong side of the tracks." Thus begin a series of adventures, or perhaps misadventures is a better description, through West Texas, New Mexico, and finally into Mexico itself where they are shanghaied into a training facility for anarchists called The Camp. Oh, my, what are those two into next?

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

As a troubled and unmanageable teenager headed for self-destruction, the author was given advice regarding self-control by a wise older gentleman who took an interest: “Do one thing every day for an hour for someone else that you don’t want to do for a month.” The author followed that guidance and, lo and behold, the advice worked. This began a lifelong pursuit of effectual wisdom. Now WH Buzzard has reached the age when he would like to pass along such hard-won truisms to the next generation, and what better way than in tongue-in-cheek adventure books. Born in West Texas but now living in Central Texas with his wife, he spends his time writing, reading, swimming laps, or else taking long walks while thinking up “stretchers.”* *Mark Twain
