(Suspense, western) Winner of 2016 International Book Award (and Laramie Award finalist). What if you came home after a journey and your family was no longer there? What if someone else was living in your house, running what you used to manageand trying to kill you? Wade Forester must stay in the shadows because, it seems, everyone has reason to shoot him. His father has disappeared, and his sister won't speak a word to anyone. Beautiful Patricia Laughlin is searching for her family as well. Few people gain her trust or approval, though powerful landowner Bridger Calhoun just might be the man to do it. After a clash throws them to opposite sides, Wade must decide if risking his life to help Patricia is worth the trouble. Bridger must win Patricia's heart, and Patricia must learn which killer to trust with her life. Set in Nevada's historic silver rush, and reminiscent of Crichton, Grey, and L'Amour, the writing comes from intimate knowledge of the era and area. Having lived off the land, Wilcox depended on his wit, grit, and strengthand that of his animalsfor survival, just as these characters do. Wilcox and Beckstrand weave authentic detail and care for the terrain and its creatures into an adventure that will make your heart pound and fill your lungs with the "rarefied air" of the old Sierra Nevada Mountains.Comes with additional short story.

Boyle blends idealism and satire in a story that addresses the ultimate questions of human love and the survival of the species. It is the year 2025, and Tyrone O’Shaughnessy Tierwater is eking out a bleak living in Southern California, managing a pop star’s private menagerie of the species ‘only a mother could love’—scruffy hyenas, jackals, warthogs and three down-at-the-mouth lions. Global warming is a reality. The biosphere has collapsed in a grim but pointed way, and most of the major mammalian species—not to mention fish, birds and frogs—are extinct. At one time, as we see in alternating chapters, Ty was a passionate environmentalist, so committed to saving the earth that he became an eco-terrorist and, ultimately, a convicted felon. As a member of the radical environmental group Earth Forever!, he unwittingly endangered both his wife, Andrea, and his daughter, Sierra (who herself became an icon of the Movement as an inveterate tree-sitter in the late nineties). Now, when he’s just trying to survive in a world torn by obdurate storms and winnowing drought, Andrea comes back into his life. Both gritty and surreal, A FRIEND OF THE EARTH represents a high-water mark in Boyle’s career—his deep streak of social concern is effortlessly blended here with real compassion for his characters and the spirit of sheer exhilarating playfulness readers have come to expect of his work. inventory #15870 ISBN: 0670891770., 0, San Francisco: Sierra Club Books, [1999].
