The chain-smoking private eye of noir is teleported to the 2020s. Some men want to take over the world. Others want to watch it burn. But those men aren't Dick Winchester. No, his goal is much simpler: to take his underground food delivery service into the mainstream and overthrow the app-based fat cats dominating Arlington, Virginia. By force, if necessary. Follow Dick as he fights to make a name for himself in the digital age of convenience. And watch as he manages to make an enemy out of just about everyone, from local bar owners to the military-industrial complex. Fortunately for Dick, he never goes anywhere without his oldest and closest friend: his trusty Smith & Wesson revolver. Will Dick succeed? How many empty whiskey bottles will be left in his wake? And will he and his poetry collection ever unseat Maya Angelou as the greatest American poet? Praise for The Opening Salvo: "Perfect for fans of Archer, and absurdist action movies. If you're looking for a quick hitting, funny read, this is a perfect book." "Dick Winchester is a hardened road warrior, avid drinker, and big-hearted hero who you can't help but root for throughout his adventures in this Wild West take on the modern-day food delivery industry." "HILARIOUS. I found myself genuinely laughing out loud reading this incredibly entertaining comedy. Never a dull moment-all of Dick Winchester's escapades are so much fun, with rich originality that is rare today. Officer Teresa is also an absolute QUEEN and I'm obsessed with her character Can someone please get Netflix on the phone to make this a series "
