Do you enjoy a good Western? I especially relish the kind that has exciting adventure and old fashioned romance as its plot. That prompted the decision to write a Western Novel about a Troglodyte; fitly named since he becomes a brutish recluse as a result of spurned love. ("Brutish Recluse," the two word definition of a troglodyte.) Set in the mountain grandeur of the storied southwest, the first Troglodyte Tale traces three distinct ventures involving Treasure of immense wealth, an exhilarating wilderness Trek, and an ultimate Triumph of love and faith. The spiritual impact of this portion of the book underscores the vital part which faith plays in the human experience. On the first leg of Big Jack Madgaera's arduous journey, "The Troglodyte's Treasure," is replete with fervor, survival and harsh reality. During the second, venture, a wilderness trek, Big Jack and his salty old companion Charlie are confronted with a life threatening earthquake, a near riot of demented copper miners and finally an evil bunch of river boat marauders. They settle in "The Springs of Californy, ' as Charlie calls it, where they find fulfillment that for Jack is short lived. Completing the trilogy of life in the wilds, Jack is attacked by a ferocious mountain lion which leaves him bloody and near death. Two astounding events occur during the incredible conclusion that will amaze and leave you in awe. Give it a read. You may come away from the experience satisfied and inspired. Benisons Dave Allan
