Opis

This volume of Rattlesnakes, Ghosts and Murderers moves the reader ahead more than 100 years out of America's Old West. The setting is the contemporary American West, and this novel deals with very real problems created by the international drug trade and our nation's ineffective "War on Drugs."
In this story, you'll meet Buck Ford, ranch manager, and Loco Chairez, the insane drug dealer who has taken over the ranch for the purpose of growing marijuana for a Mexican cartel. You will also meet a cast of highly interesting characters: Crash Ordie, Lengren Franklyn Moncliff, Delmore Ray Delmore, Detective Piper and Ling Ling the dry-cleaner lady.
Volume Two: The Curse Continues retains the covert paranormal theme found in Volume One: McKenna and Barnett but this book is actually an insightful and satirical, very clever Action Adventure novel. The language used mirrors present-day reality. Murder, suspense, madness and humor fill the pages.
Some readers may view this book as politically incorrect but author Len Francis Monahan claims to have stayed true to the language and attitudes of our time, stating that, "I represent the dematerializing stage of an epoch of human writers before all thought and literature are taken over by our Machine Masters. The importance of independent thought is still paramount, and writers should not be cowed by idea-police who dare try directing their characters' actions and speech. The essence of this book, therefore, is realism presented with great humor."
"Monahan creates much intrigue-and fun-and will have readers looking forward to spending more time with the characters in the next installment, Volume 2: The Curse Continues." - Maria Siano, Foreword Review
