Book Details

AGAINST THREE TO ONE ODDS, A MIXED BAND OF MÉTIS HAS A CHILLING REALIZATION THEY HAVE BEEN TARGETED FOR MURDER. WILL RECLUSIVE LEGENDARY OWL MAN APPEAR TO HAVE THEM CHEAT DEATH – HE ALWAYS DOES.

Even if legendary Owl Man can successfully warn the Métis Clan of a pack of villainous train robber-killers entering his own one-time mountain sanctuary, the Minneconjou warrior will join them to battle together in a war of survival. Stalked by outlaws who first suffer a taste of their own blood attacked by a handful of skilled Métis fighters, their leader vows to kill them all. But Owl Man is no stranger to trouble, and before his big-bore Sharps buffalo rifle – or his adopted proteges – have their own trial by fire. In chilling realization they are targeted for murder, he’s forced to morally team with Henri Dumont’s outnumbered Métis family-defenders before ruthless ex-Confederate guerilla fighter Micah Flint and his desperate gang slaughter the Clan’s helpless ones. Disfigurement-burn-scars signaling silence of a lone wolf turns as a wild pony reminds Owl Man of his own endowed spiritual awareness, pivoting him into an uncommon, quick-thinking force. Indomitable in broken places joined together with newfound loved ones – evidencing true human caring – their lot is cast in determination to rub out the Bad Ones. This is a tale of new life, survival and pursuit, in a last stand of wilderness justice, surety of heart, where Death is not a stranger.

 

About the Author

Tim Long

Tim Long, a career administrator-strategist in the healthcare field, foreign and domestic, his constant avocation had him traveling and researching the haunts, battlefields and trails across the Great Plains. Spanning four decades imagining, reading and standing where they stood, thinking how they felt in real time, the humanity they revealed, Long fits pieces into the historical puzzle with authentic and reliable details. In an attempt to breathe emotion into a variety of lived experiences as history unfolded before them, he has spoken with some of the West’s most influential and provocative historians, including members in the Order of Indian Wars and Native American tribal elders. Being a self-confessed “fictioneer,” this author forms conclusions and takes liberties. The underlying intent, however, is always to tell a good story. Long draws inspiration living close to the Rocky Mountains, having raised six children between them, he and his wife reside near Denver in pursuit of bringing leadership to Waldorf Education Teacher Training, Regional Fire District Board Service and, as an unaffiliated voter, taking a run at being a U.S. Congressman in Colorado’s newest district.
