AN Accidental Warrior He was a teenager innocently passing through town when he found himself in the center of a war. He didn't know the people, or the reason they were fighting, but somehow he'd become a target. It was the spring of 1959 and the young orphan had hiked into the Montana mountains to honor a promise made to his dead parents. But when he became stranded in a small logging town, his life was changed forever. The youngster, Lee Raines, was quietly eating dinner in a local café when the place was robbed. He intervened and the thief was captured. But this crime turned out to be the opening salvo in a small war and Lee was in the middle of it. He didn't even know the antagonists, but within days a local politician was murdered and Lee also became a target. Eventually, Lee was able to satisfy the promise to his parents. But in doing so, he accidentally witnessed major crimes committed in the beginning of Montana's environmental movement. Before he could leave town, Lee found himself in a shooting war, forced to defend himself against powerful, brutal, enemies. Finally the shooting stopped and the sheriff made arrests. Time moved on and the judge passed sentence on the offenders. Only then did Lee realize that the problems were more complex than anyone had realized. Nothing was yet settled. It took a final gun battle, a battle that resulted in real Rocky Mountain Justice, to end the war. The Rocky Mountain Justice Trilogy The Deadly River is the second volume of the Rocky Mountain Justice trilogy. The three volumes, which span a time period from the 1940's through the 1970's, are as follows:Book #1: Rocky Mountain Justice (The Legend of Camel's Hump). The year is 1949. Deep in the Montana mountains, four teenagers fight a depraved sheriff in a war that sees death visit both sides. But the sheriff's gang is too strong for the teens alone, so they turn to two combat-hardened former marines who recruit an Indian Nation to fight alongside them. Some die and some disappear, but the battle is won and a legend is born.***Book #2: The Deadly River. It's ten years later, in the same Montana mountains. Two of the original young heroes from The Legend of Camel's Hump return. Once again, they're thrust into battle against cold-blooded killers. Lee Raines, an orphan from Pennsylvania, stumbles into the middle of this new battle and becomes the key to their eventual victory.***Book #3: Home Goes the Warrior. The year is 1974. Lee Raines, now a Navy Lieutenant, has come home after being badly wounded in the Viet Nam jungles. After that experience, he just wants to finish his service, marry his fiancée, and find a quiet home in the suburbs. Instead he finds himself caught between the Mafia and the FBI as he battles thieves, murderers, and a Soviet espionage ring on the mean streets of Philadelphia.
