An omnibus of novels by David Thompson
Perils of the Wind
It takes a special breed of man to survive in the wilds of the American frontier. A man like Nate King has the courage, the strength and the skills he needs to endure the hardships of the magnificent Rockies. But the four cutthroats who heard about Nate paying for provisions with gold don't plan to make it on their own. They figure they can get Nate's gold for themselves. When they kidnap Nate's younger daughter they think they've struck it rich. They don't know Nate very well. They don't know that he'll do anything to protect his family. But what Nate doesn't know is that his little girl escaped on her own... and now has to face the dangers of the Rockies alone and unarmed.
Mountain Man
Faith was the key. A person must always have faith. Rosemary Spencer had it to spare. She had faith in her husband, Bert. Faith in his decision to uproot their family and trek overland more than a thousand miles to the Promised Land, or Oregon Country, as it was known. She had faith in their children, fifteen-year-old Sam and nine-year-old Eddy, faith they were mature enough to endure without complaint the hardships they would encounter. She had faith in their team of oxen, in the plodding, steadfast, tireless brutes on whom their lives depended. She had faith in the new Conestoga the oxen were pulling, in its sturdy construction and reliability. But most of all, Rosemary had faith in their Maker. God Almighty would see them through to Oregon, would see to it they reached their homestead in the Willamette Valley with their scalps and hides intact. Their wagon train was two and a half weeks out of Fort Leavenworth, paralleling the sluggish Platte River.
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.
