Crazy Hawk: a Post-apocalyptic Thriller

Deirdre lives for one purpose: to get her sister back. If she has to kill the kidnappers, that won’t be a problem. She’s good at that. “A riveting futuristic tale of global ruin and rescue.” KIRKUS REVIEWSRiding her Soul Horse, Danny, Deirdre Buford relentlessly pursues the men who took her sister through an America wrecked by the Great Virus, endless civil war and a collapse of the global order called the Breakdown. She’s forced by circumstances to ally with a nomadic photographer. His gentle decency moves her to the core, but her mission leads her away from the man she’s falling in love with and toward a confrontation with the people who hold her sister. To defeat them, she’ll need the help of the powerful Nations, a league of indigenous tribes. But there’s a problem. The Nations consider Deirdre a deadly enemy. They’ve even given her a nickname that signifies their grudging respect for this ferocious adversary. Crazy Hawk. “The ubiquity of black-powder guns, horses, and outlaws gives this future-set novel the intriguing flavor of a Western, as do its gritty scenes of graphic violence. Though its pacing is frenetic, the story is exhilarating: bullets are shot through eyes, bones are broken, and wounds heal over time if at all. Meanwhile, people’s relationships evolve in unexpected ways; all are complex.”-FOREWORD CLARION REVIEWS
