The Water War
The temperature’s rising in the west…
Lee Royle had come to Silver Bend to build a well, at the urgent request of his brother Ethan.
There had been a long, painful drought for many months, and cattle had started to drop like flies, under the relentless glare of the sun and not a drop of rain.
But the Circle-Star ranch seems unaffected; Boss Quinn, the ranch owner, had built a dam across the Snowy River, preventing any water from reaching Silver Bend.
The small ranchers can only sit and watch as his steers grew sleek and fat, whilst their own waste away before their very eyes.
With the stifling heat the tension grows, and the small town ranchers become increasingly aggravated towards Boss Quinn.
Only a single spark is needed to set off The Water War, and it’s not long before a full blown battle erupts in the west.
Then Luke Muldoon is shot and all hell breaks loose…

I loved everything about this book. Great storytelling, dialogue, and imagery. The drama was great,and the action has such heartbreaking moments. The survival of the cattle's became the survival of the humans instead. I guess Ethan Royle was right all along, that God will take care of the crisis because he created it. Nobody really understood them enlightening words until it was too late.

September 5, 2020It was fun. It reminded me of going to the Saturday matinees at the Victory Theater in So. Charleston, W.Va. when I was a kid. Damn, that was about 70 years a go. Time sure flies so remember to enjoy each and every day you can never be sure that you'll have another one.
