Riassunto

Civil war hero and adventurer Thomas Scoundrel didn't expect the search for his friend's fiancée in frontier Colorado to be easy. He also didn't expect to be beaten and tossed into a desert ravine by a powerful cattle baron, tortured and held captive in an Indian village, or pursued for weeks by dozens of hired guns.

He teams up with Marshal Bat Masterson, reunites with his old friend Buffalo Bill Cody and falls under the spell of Dawn Pillow, a beautiful native healer. A German paleontologist comes to his aid, along with a wild Scottish preacher, a Cossack army officer, an opera-loving Cheyenne chief and the legendary bandit leader, Demetria Carnál.

Much of the action takes place outside Denver during an international fishing tournament where young Adolf Coors serves up beer, author Mark Twain makes an impassioned speech, and Mary Orvis teaches anglers how to tie a fly.

Mix in a 'flying' T-Rex, poetic silver miners, fly-fishing native warriors, Oscar Wilde, a plot to steal northern Mexico and, of course, plenty of dynamite, and Scoundrel in the Thick takes the historical novel to new heights of adventure and humor.

Informazioni sull'autore

B.R. attended Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach, CA. He went to UCLA as an undergraduate and graduate student and taught history for several years before going to work in film and television. He did series development for two Hollywood studios, and was a script-doctor for a host of Los Angeles-based film and TV writers before returning to his native Oregon, where he purchased a 19th century farmhouse at the literal 'end' of a graveled country road.  It was there, surrounded by thousands of acres of old-growth forest 20 miles from the nearest small town, that B.R. began the next phase of his writing career.He developed a reputation as one of the leading ghostwriters in the nation, and over a two-decade period he wrote for more than a dozen Fortune 100 CEOs and a number of national political figures, university presidents, entertainment figures, jurists, and retired senior military officers. In all, B.R. has ghost-authored 24 published books, including several national bestsellers. In addition, he has authored more than a hundred articles and opinion pieces for clients that have appeared in national and international publications including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Christian Science Monitor, Los Angeles Times, MONEY, Newsweek, Forbes, The Economist, The Financial Times, and dozens of other publications.In 2019, B.R. began the move from ghost-writing to producing his own works. He published the novel Martin's Way, the family Christmas book, Jonathan Marvel's Christmas Pockets, and 7 Prologues, a compilation of introductory pieces he did for books about some of his subjects. B.R. lives in the Willamette Valley, where he writes in a converted barn in the pasture behind his home, just minutes from some of the finest pinot noir vineyards in the world.
