The Bandit King

About the Book

South Austin redneck meets Mayan surrealism.

Disillusioned by the complacency of modern American society and generally bored, Dylan King and his traveling companion, Sam O’Donnel head for Mexico seeking adventure and fortune.

Through a sequence of events that is being choreographed by ancient deities through dreams, the travelers become deeply involved in a violent revolution in Mexico that eventually alters the balance of power in the Western Hemisphere forever.

King’s association with the mysterious and beautiful Marcella Springs, who is actually the embodiment of a pre-Columbian goddess, and Alvarez, her chosen warrior, provide the backdrop for a tale that shakes our traditional world views and explores the world of metaphysics and separate realities from a perspective refreshed by recent discoveries in the field of quantum physics and laced with an ample supply of down home sex and humor.
