"The ultalight scenes are exciting and accurate. The novel is real and gripping." - John Kemmeries - World renowned ultralight instructor, Peoria, Arizona
And the Lure, as ever, is Gold. Brian Nichols, tempted by an old legend, decides to give it a try. He learns about the Lost Dutchman mine. He prepares, learns to fly an ultra light aircraft, acquires a GPS unit, and sundry other aids. He decides to scout to the east and north of where everyone else has looked. He comes upon a box canyon that interests him and decides that a look on foot would be worthwhile. Brian is spotted and gets killed on his way home by Butch and Charlie. Meanwhile, in the USA, there is a growing problem with the supply of beef. Three Texans, Murphy, Plover and Burleson are profiting. They have the antidote to the virus that is making the cows sterile, thus limiting the supply of meat. The President is frantic, as there is a real danger of riots and much discontent in the nation. Plus, there is a heat wave adding to the misery. To top all of this, there is a group run by a General Boone called the New Revolution Militia. They have a hidden agenda. This group is a pyramid and divided into cells. At the apex is the Sheriff, Saunders; the Coroner, Blackwell; henchmen, Charlie, Butch, Jasper and Bubba; Major Wheeler; and the three Texans, Murphy, Plover and Burleson. After Brian's death, his nephew, with the armed forces in Saudi Arabia, comes home for the funeral. He meets Laurie Beth McCarthy, the coroner's secretary and they team up. They will see where Brian's maps lead them. And it leads them to the box canyon and a mine entrance. This author, Tom Geldermann, juggles the three components of his story with finesse. He skillfully weaves the threads of his tale and one follows with much anticipation. He is a master storyteller. I would recommend this book with no hesitation. I was captivated. Patricia E.
