Set in the farmlands of mid-America in the late nineteenth
century, "Fallow's Field" tells the story of a man whose work is
his only solace as he buries his emotions amidst the growing blades
of golden wheat.
After the tragic deaths of his father and uncle, Ned Fallow
grows into a silent young man, shut off from emotional ties and
struggling to earn a living on a wheat farm in Midland, Kansas. He
becomes obsessed with growing the perfect crop in the fertile
Kansas soil and pays little attention to the world around him; yet
the beautiful, intelligent schoolteacher, Lily Thomason, and the
untimely death of one of his workers finally force Ned out of his
shell and make him rethink his perspective on the life he's always
envisioned.
"Fallow's Field" is the portrait of a good man, hurt so badly
that he has turned away from those intimate connections that add
true meaning to one's life. As Ned struggles against the forces of
nature, human and otherwise, he is faced with one last chance at
happiness-and the leap of faith he must take to find his ultimate
redemption.
The major character in the story is Troy O'Neill, an Arizona boy
reared by a religious mother of Dutch heritage and an adventurous
Irish father. The boy treks northward into the wilds of the
mountains and canyons of Utah in search of an ancient Aztec
treasure. Amid harrowing experiences and life-and-death struggles,
the impossible dream comes true.
Jim Meeker came down from Montana to run Texas cattle--only to find
that Hopalong Cassidy's Bar-20 ran the water. So when a trio of
snake-mean rustlers started themselves a cattle war, the powder was
primed, the guns cocked, and Hopalong was smack in the middle. So
it's friend against friend, brother against brother, gun against
blazing gun. Time's running out, and the range is red with blood.
Hopalong Cassidy is a fictional cowboy hero created in 1904 by the
author Clarence E. Mulford, who wrote a series of popular short
stories and twenty-eight novels based on the character. In his
early writings, Mulford portrayed the character as rude, dangerous,
and rough-talking. Beginning in 1935, the character-as played by
movie actor William Boyd in films adapted from Mulford's books-was
transformed into a clean-cut on-screen hero. A total of sixty-six
immensely popular films were released.
El Sombre: Saga of Boozer Runyan Cheyenne, Wyoming, in the l880's,
finds itself in the grip of a secret, underworld crime syndicate,
that is grabbing land from the locals. Undercover U.S. Marshal,
Adam West, (Alias, Boozer Runyan) from Washington, DC, arrives,
incognito, discovering an invisible empire of Satanic interests
that are seeking to fund a war, at the risk of collapsing the
American Banking System, using "The Wild Bunch" as pawns.
It is 1888, and for Jesse Riddle, time has already brought too
much change. Caught between the excitement of life on Harrison
Avenue in Leadville, Colorado, and his commitment to the Lord, he
must now make some big decisions.
Work in the mines has exposed him to a new world of hard living
and reckless self-indulgence, and Jesse knows that the direction
his life is taking is hurting his preacher father. The church has
always been the center of the young man's life, but now more
worldly temptations are pulling him away. He tries to resist the
lure of the saloons, with mixed success. His reputation as a man to
be feared troubles him. But despite it all-the temptations, the
accolades, the power-he could not ignore the commitment he had made
to the Lord.
Jesse needs to get away for a while. The mountains have always
been his place of sanctuary, and it is to their high reaches that
he runs in times of doubt. He could not have imagined what God had
in store for him-a mystery beyond his ability to understand.
Strange new people and machines have slipped through time, but for
what purpose? The choices he must make now will determine the
course of the rest of his life. The stakes are high, and the time
to decide is short.
