“All of us have a path to follow, and that path begins
in the heart.”
- Samuel McCord {a supernatural LONGMIRE}
The
world is filled with mystery and shadow.
What
is life? The years bring us the conceit
that we grasp life.
What we grasp is but illusion.
Childlike
we seize a fistful of seawater and say we hold the ocean. And even that slips through our grasping
fingers.
As
the ocean holds depths Man will never see so does Life.
But
one cursed man has seen more than most.
And the enemies he has made doing so are now trying to un-make him.
From
the undead halls of power in colonial Washington, D.C. to the bloody plains of
India to the mystery-shrouded deserts of Egypt, Texas Ranger Captain Samuel
McCord is spoken of in whispers lest he take notice of the speakers.
Follow
his cursed footsteps from 1826 and the death bed of President John Adams to the
blood stained hills and ravines of 1857 India.
And finally to 1895 Cairo and the far deserts wastes of Egypt.
Some fool has disturbed the sleep of
something that should never have been awakened.
And it is up to McCord, his deadly wife, Meilori Shinseen, Mark Twain,
Oscar Wilde, Nikola Tesla, and Lt. Winston Churchill to keep the world from
slipping into a new Dark Age of madness and death.
But
this time, the past has caught up with McCord in the form of the undead Abigail
Adams and the revenant Empress Theodora of the Unholy Roman Empire.
Worse, an
ancient Pestilence in the body of a mummy child now reaches out for him and
those he loves.
And
his friends and even the world itself may pay the terrible price if he cannot
be more than what he believes he can be.

Fortunately Captain McCord is, like most of us, capable of more than he realises. A great deal more.

ReplyDeleteThat is why mankind has survived this long. We can do more than we believe when the demand is made of us! :-)
A legend cannot lose, so of course McCord has to win. I'm looking forward to reading TSBAM and continuing the Egyptian adventure in the past.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
