The Guide
Is your fly fishing guide willing to die for you? Stony lives
for fly fishing in the wilderness. It literally saved his life. After Stony
massacred an entire village in Vietnam, addiction and PTSD almost killed him.
Alaska, fly-fishing, and a woman and her wolves brought him back from the
brink. He made a vow to her on her deathbed to always help people, and to never
kill another man. Now he has a new lover, and is finally clean. So when he
takes a seemingly ideal client deep into the wilderness of Rocky Mountain
National Park, he never dreams that his most sacred vow will be tested to the
breaking point. He will have to save his client from a serial killer, a
murderer so devious he has managed to become a respected doctor-and his
client's partner. It's taken Stony thirty years to disentangle himself from
psychological hell. Now, hampered by all the dangers high altitude wilderness
can throw at him, Stony must risk sinking into mental hell forever by killing
an evil doctor-or risk losing not only his client, but his new soul mate.

“Told In Rich And Descriptive Language.”
Dr. Jake Roberts is running from life and his partner. Thinking
that he is dying from a cancer caused by Dr. Roman Johnson, who has been
killing other patients through cancer injection treatment, Jake doesn’t want to
put his family through the horror of his death. Hiring an unsuspecting guide to
take him deep into the Rocky Mountains to fish during the late Fall, he hopes
to die while camped in the wilderness. However, his partner, Dr. Johnson wants
to make sure he dies, and hires an unscrupulous guide to follow them, planning
everyone’s death in the back country.
Jake’s guide is Stony, an ex Vietnam veteran, trying to forget
the ravages of war and live a sane and peaceful life doing what he loves. He
knows the Rocky Mountains and the best fishing spots, and loves to be with
nature and the elements. Guiding is his passion, and he has vowed to protect
his clients from injury or death. Now with a killer after them, he’s afraid he
might revert back to his Vietnam days and kill again, something he promised the
woman he loved that he would never do again.
This was a fascinating story set in the beauty of the Rocky
Mountains during the chill of approaching winter and snow, with the threat of
wolves, grizzly and black bears migrating to new hunting grounds. Add to the
natural hazards, there’s a poacher and killer tracking Jake, and Stony doing
his best to keep his client alive. The author lives in Colorado, and relies on
his background as a doctor and his experience with treating veterans of many
wars, including those that fought in Vietnam. He also has a love for
fly-fishing. Highly recommended for lovers of great adventure steeped in danger
and murder.
