Frontier Fury / The Tempest
(2019)(A book in the Wilderness Omnibus series)
An omnibus of novels by David Thompson
Frontier Fury
For frontiersman Nate King, the Rockies are the last untamed wilderness, a place of beauty and unparalleled danger, a place to respect and call home. He and his family begin a trek through this harsh terrain with no wish but to see their cabin at journey's end. But a chance encounter with a deranged settler leads Nate to the discovery that the man has big plans for this wild land. Rejected by the army, William Proctor plans to carve his own empire, creating a new Eden all his own. He's determined to succeed at any cost, even if it brings the wrap of the Blackfoot Confederacy upon them all. Now it's up to Nate to stop a crazed colonel in his tracks before he takes down scores of innocents - including Nate's own wife and daughter - in a blaze of maniacal glory.
The Tempest
The untamed wilderness of the Rockies is a place of magnificent beauty ... and unimaginable dangers. Shakespeare McNair has seen many of these dangers over the years, but even he has a hard time imagining the bizarre creature that's terrorizing him and his wife, Blue Water Woman. It walks on two legs like a man, but has the strength of an animal. All Shakespeare has seen of it is its hideous shape, but he knows it's out there in the night, stalking and waiting. When the beast finally strikes, carrying off Blue Water Woman, Shakespeare vows to turn the tables and track it to its lair ... then show the creature some danger of his own. He knows that defeating this monster may not be humanly possible, but he'll fight any living thing - be it man, animal or devil - to rescue his beloved wife.
David L. Robbins was born on Independence Day 1950. He has written more than three hundred books under his own name and many pen names, among them: David Thompson, Jake McMasters, Jon Sharpe, Don Pendleton, Franklin W. Dixon, Ralph Compton, Dean L. McElwain, J.D. Cameron and John Killdeer.
Robbins was raised in Pennsylvania. When he was seventeen he enlisted in the United States Air Force and eventually rose to the rank of sergeant. After his honorable discharge he attended college and went into broadcasting, working as an announcer and engineer (and later as a program director) at various radio stations. Later still he entered law enforcement and then took to writing full-time.
At one time or another Robbins has lived in Pennsylvania, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Montana, Colorado and the Pacific Northwest. He spent a year and a half in Europe, traveling through France, Italy, Greece and Germany. He lived for more than a year in Turkey.
Today he is best known for two current long-running series - Wilderness, the generational saga of a Mountain Man and his Shoshone wife - and Endworld is a science fiction series under his own name started in 1986. Among his many other books, Piccadilly Publishing is pleased to be reissuing ebook editions of Wilderness, Davy Crockett and, of course, White Apache.
