Opis

From the man who gave us "Timothy's Take-Out."comes a masterful work of fiction in an entirely different vein. What do you do when you're one of the most agile human beings the world has ever known, and on the lam in 19th century British Columbia? Seek refuge atop the tallest, sheerest mountain you can find? It works for Jarrod Morgan. This highly religious fugitive-one of many memorable characters you'll encounter within the pages of Paul J. Barker's spectacular "Life On Umbriel"-had been praying for sanctuary, and what he was granted exceeded even his pie-in-the-sky expectations. Life on the magical summit of 'Mt. Avitah" would indeed be heaven, were it not for the $2500 bounty on Jarrod's head. Lawmen and cutthroats alike vie for the opportunity to engage Jarrod in the ultimate version of King Of The Hill. "Life on Umbriel," like the rugged Pacific wilderness in which it's set, is full of beauty, adventure, comedy, and savagery. If you like nothing better than to curl up with a great book, this is a tremendous value. After all, you may end up reading it a dozen times
