 Yaqui Gold $16.95 Clint Walker, star of television's Cheyenne, suggested to author Kirby Jonas the basic idea for this novel of the Old West. Over the next two years, they collaborated to create a superb adventure story. The plot concerns two long-time friends, Tom Vanse and Sam Coffee, who leave Nogales, Arizona to find a treasure of gold hidden deep within Yaqui territory in Mexico. With thieves and killers behind them and Yaquis, Apaches and bandits ahead of them, Tom and Sam learn that finding the gold is easy enough but keeping it is far more difficult. After capture by Yaquis, the two friends are separated and while Tom has his own trials to endure, Sam suffers increasingly deadly ordeals that test the limits of his will to stay alive. Stripped of his treasure and everything else he owns, Sam's only hope of surviving is by crawling through a parched desert land populated by jaguars, wolves and rattlesnakes while battling sandstorms and flashfloods. And all the while he is relentlessly followed by the lone Yaqui warrior who mutilated him. This novel is filled with vivid characterizations of not only the two heroes but all of the major characters. Sam and Tom are ordinary cowhands who are out of work and trying to forget the death of a young girl from a furious bull, for which they blame themselves. The bond between the two men is credibly depicted and believable, despite the differences in their personalities. The individual pursuers are also clearly drawn with different motivations for their actions which results in unpredictable plot developments. But it is the unexpected relationship between Sam and his Yaqui tormentor that is the most intriguing one as it develops from mutual hatred to mutual respect. This is a wonderful novel with exciting action and enthralling suspense. Kirby Jonas is a fine writer who is able to bring the Old West vividly to life through lyrical writing as well as extensive research which is obvious from the numerous details throughout the novel. And it is especially gratifying to know that Clint Walker, one of the screen's most believable and likeable Western heroes, is also a skillful and creative storyteller.  Rompiendo el Silencio $10.98 This CD is really good if you are in the mood for something romantic. They have a new CD called Una Noche Romantica that just came out in January and it is even better. I would rate that 5++ stars. You should, however, check out this CD first to prepare you for the harmoneous voice the singer has on the most recent album. The singer has a voice that will make a girls legs tremble. HURRY UP and check it out, you will not be disappointed!  Una Noche Romantica $12.98 ACTUALLY THE WHOLE CD I HAVEN'T HEARD IT I JUST RECOMMEND ONE SONG, ACTUALLY I ONLY LIKE ONE SONG UNA NOCHE ROMANTICA BECAUSE IT SAYS EXACTLY THAT ONE ROMANTIC EVENING TOGETHER DRINKING WINE, BEFORE THEY SAY GOODBYE. VERY GOOD SONG I RECOMMEND IT. |
