If you had ever wish Harry Potter had a huge set of balls, shagged his way through Hogwarts and was set in 1860's Wild West California, then this is the book for you. If you ever thought Die Hard and True Grit should make sweet love to each other and what their offspring would be? It would be Coleman Haynes. The Tale of Truckee is just book one in the Coleman Haynes series, so there will be plenty more action and adventure to come.Drought stricken 1860's California has caused countless deaths. A Tyrannical governor becomes the states dictator and one outlaw reluctantly feels it's his responsibility to save the day, that cowboy, is Coleman Haynes. As a posse of gangsters tap into California's only water supply, and look to profit from the natural disaster that plagues California, Haynes gets involved. He's thrown into the middle of the disputes between Governor Henry Haight and gang leader Theodore Roddick. Haynes has to battle political corruption, as well as the kidnapping of the woman her loves, and fight and survive his way through the harsh landscapes of the wild west, whether that be shootouts on the roof of the Union Pacific, blowing up a mine shaft, or being tortured in the basement of the Governor's Mansion. This is the book for the reader that hates reading the same crap every single time, for someone that wants violence, action, adventure all set in the Wild West. Despite being fiction this book is fairly historically accurate for the historian in you, but don't let that distract you from Coleman Haynes fighting for himself as he tries to bring down corruption in Californian politics. So sit back and strap in for the wildest western you will ever read.
