Haxan (The Haxan Series)
by Kenneth HooverFrom the author of Quaternity: “The story of an immortal champion in an American West that never was, and so is all the truer for it” (Richard Parks, author of The Long Look). Thermopylae. Masada. Agincourt. And now, Haxan, New Mexico Territory, circa 1874. Through a sea of time and dust, in places that might never be, or can’t become until something is set right, there are people destined to travel. Forever. Marshal John Marwood is one of these men. Taken from a place he called home, he is sent to fight an eternal war. It never ends, because the storm itself, this unending conflict, makes the world we know a reality. Along with all the other worlds waiting to be born. Or those that were born, but died like a guttering candle in eternal night . . . The first in a series, Haxan is Lonesome Dove meets The Punisher—real, gritty, violent, and blatantly uncompromising. “A mixture of western and urban fantasy, with a cold, moody atmosphere that makes us want to put on a sweater. The author leaves the door open for a sequel, but, given the kind of life Marwood lives, it could be set anywhere, or anytime.” —Booklist

Heart of the Country
by Greg MatthewsTo the unsettled plains of Kansas in 1854 comes a man with a vision of civilization, a town builder and dreamer who, while establishing a settlement for the pioneers to follow, undoes his chances of acceptance among his own people by sharing his bed with a squaw. Abandonment of this woman (and subsequently their child) serves only to disgrace him further, and the founder of Valley Forge departs for other, more welcome horizons. The child is raised by Dr. Cobden of St. Louis, a man of wealth and reputation whose professional and private lives are similarly undone from the moment he adopts the half-breed boy, who acquires with age the unkind malformation of the hunchback. While the doctor is absent during the Civil War years, young Joseph comes to realize he is unlike his peers, a bitter awakening from which he fashions a turtle-like resistance to a world seemingly set against him. At the age of fifteen, an exile within his own tortured shape, Joe Cobden seeks a new life in the West, and becomes in turn a woodcutter, a bouncer in Mrs. Attucks's busy brothel, and--his ambition achieved at last--a buffalo hunter. This occupation is at first kind to Joe; he builds a reputation from the slaughtered herds, but when the buffalo are hunted almost to extinction he is obliged to follow the less rewarding pursuit of bone gathering. Alone by choice, without plans of any kind, Joe is drawn by circumstance to the place of his birth, and here, partly by accident, partly by cruel design, he is presented with the chance to stake out a future for himself. In Greg Matthews's skilled and certain hands a magnificent novel emerges from the unheroic story of the West. The usual mythic exaggerations and romance are abandoned for a reality that is harsh, true, and utterly compulsive.
Heart of the Country
by Greg MatthewsThis epic Gothic Western about a half-Indian outcast who becomes a famous buffalo hunter is &“a big sprawling novel of the West as it really was&” (The Denver Post). Perhaps Joe Cobden was always destined to be an outcast. His Indian mother died in childbirth, alone on a stagecoach road under a pitch-black prairie sky. His white father abandoned him in the name of his own ambition. The wife of the doctor who adopted him despised him for his mixed race. His classmates teased him for his curved spine. Joe leaves nothing but pain behind as he lights out for the Kansas frontier. It is the 1870s and Joe makes a name for himself as a famed buffalo hunter, tracking a phantom white buffalo from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains. But his glory days as &“Joe Buffalo&” die as quickly as the slaughtered herds, and he finds himself forced to settle in Valley Forge, where the townsfolk each hide their own twisted secrets. &“[A] gutsy, raunchy, rough, blunt, down-to-earth (or mud) novel in which little is sacred,&” Heart of the Country paints a broad panorama of a demythologized American West, populated with unforgettable—and often unforgivable—characters, brought to life with stunning imagery and bold, baroque prose (Los Angeles Times).
