Night Runners

Autor Rodger J. Bille
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Jill Gardiner, an ambitious young woman from the 21st century, inexplicably wakes up in 1928 where her first contacts are two young boat builders who at once vie for her attention and affection. Steeling herself to not only survive, but take advantage of her new circumstances, she uses foreknowledge to manipulate the rising stock market into enough capital to allow her friends to build the rumrunner boat of their dreams. With a less than subtle nudge from a local garage owner-cum-bootlegger, they form a partnership that leads to more dangerous encounters than any of the unlikely foursome might dream in their worst nightmares. Running at night in their marvelous creation, the Ghost, they must contend with ferocious natural elements, elude Coast Guard patrols, fight off determined pirates and even one of their own clients. While her partners struggle to maintain difficult rendezvous, Jill, still connected to her computer, is being manipulated to complete the insane goal of the 21st century power broker who sent her back in time. Torn between loyalty and affection for both young men, she forms a plan to turn the tables on the evil conspirators and secure a future for her new friends. From the rocky shores of British Columbia to the infamous Chinese tunnels beneath Tacoma, Washington, danger and intrigue follow the Night Runner partners. This carefully crafted and historically correct adventure tale will have readers of all ages turning its pages into the wee hours as they vicariously live the life of the young rum-runners as they speed through the night in the Ghost, a truly marvelous Night Runner.

Notă biografică

Rodger J. Bille was born in the sawmill town of McCleary, Washington in 1935 and raised near Tacoma, Washington. He learned survival skills at an early age, from his Scout Leader parents, boating the waters of Puget Sound, hiking the Olympic Mountains and exploring the western United States. He attended the school of journalism at the U of W in Seattle for a short time, but was married at 19 and a father at 21, which put his dreams of acting and writing on hold for many years. After 50 years of racing everything from go-karts, sports cars to all types of boats and motorcycles, he is content to return to writing, with just an occasional vintage moto-cross race or off road adventure thrown in to liven up his routine. Rodger is an active High Priest in the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a grandfather and great-grandfather many times over and lives with his wife Dolores near Utah Lake. His first novel, "A Few of the Chosen, Survivors of Terrorism," was published by Trafford Publishing in 2003 and used the same well researched locations as does his current novel, Night Runners, published by Trafford Publishing in 2006. Drawing on his vast real life adventure experiences from Canada to New Zealand, Rodger plans to publish more of his accumulation of stories in the near future, with the hope of sharing life's wonderful joys with a wider audience.
