About the author

Garrett W. Vance

I grew up like a tumbleweed in the arid wilds of eastern Washington State, riding horses and motorbikes through the sand and sage brush, enjoying great freedom of movement at a very young age. I was always headed out on expeditions to see what lay beyond the next shady canyon or rolling hill, a curiosity which eventually led me to travel widely in Europe, Asia and Africa. I'm pretty much the definition of a ' maverick,' safe but dull careers, mortgages and insurance are things I wouldn't touch with a seventy-two and a half foot pole. I prefer to be down to my last ducat and on the road, my personal wealth is all in experience. Wherever I go books have been my constant companions, they grant access to places no earthly airplane or ship can venture, to the limitless realms of the written word. I currently enjoy a ridiculously comfortable existence in Bangkok, Thailand and I'm not bored yet. My brain announced to me recently that "It's time to write!" so here I am.

Update: With Volume 15 I became the Art Director for the Gazette! Good thing I like a challenge. :-D

Really good!

[Ronald Spitzer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good follow up book to Time Spike Mysterious Mesa. Fun characters and situations. The main battle did get a bit confusing, but battles do, so no big deal. This is a light read and was never intended as a deep meaning English teacher style book. The book leaves it open for a third installment, but no worry, just like the first book the complete stand alone story episode is told here and it is not left off in the middle. I expect the third book, which likely is several years away will do the same. Recommended as a fun quick read.

Garrett W. Vance continues the tale of a conquistador and a Texas ranger who find themselves living on an Earth where time periods are mixed together. In the last tale they found allies and untamed horses on a Mesa. This time in Time Spike: The First Cavalry of the Cretaceous (ebook from Baen) they face a villainous army and have to create a mounted army to oppose them. Fun.

The Allied tribes decide to ride horses

The influence of Nate and Gonzalo of cavalry gives them hope for a way to fight the large animals and evil they find in this New New World.
