The Road To Mexico

Description

This new book I have penned (The Road To Mexico), is a novella. A novella, by definition, is generally a read of between 15,000 and 40,000 words. (Not as long as a standard novel, or as limited as a short story). This is my first attempt at a novella, but I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. It combines a touch of the Old West with the modern world we know today, and the intrigue of Mexico. The result is high adventure with a healthy dose of humor. So, open your book or turn on your eReader, then settle back and start your journey on… The Road To Mexico. Good reading, my friends. Michael Reisig For his latest extraordinary adventure, Michael Reisig takes the reader back to the close of the American Civil War — at a time when the strength of the Confederacy was waning, the war was being lost, and everyone was looking for a way to survive or escape the impending destruction around them . During that challenging time, situational ethics and opportunity sometimes collided, and the results were interesting, for some… Imagine a handful of Confederate sailors, in a besieged New Orleans, who thought to escape a war that they realized now, the South was losing. Then imagine a couple of chests of gold and silver that were secretly stored in a warehouse belonging to a failing South – that would soon belong to invading Union troops. Now, imagine a sailboat, and a long, daring run across the Gulf, to Mexico, and a wonderful little “south of the border" town called Nuevo Savanna… But ultimately, when the three expatriates finally arrived at their destination, and were graciously accepted into the small community, they realized that they had far more wealth than they or their new town needed, or could comfortably use. So, they buried the two chests of the remaining gold and silver coins, and some jewelry, in a cave in the mountains that surrounded them. To be available, whenever needed… Then, as we move forward a couple of hundred years, imagine a handful of very old letters that are discovered — a correspondence that tells a tale of a wartime escape, and haven in Mexico, and a hidden Confederate wealth. And then there’s the old map -- that leaves pretty good directions… Then of course, as we move into the present day, there are the Indians, and the Mexican bandits, and the damned hot, unforgiving desert to contend with. And a search for a treasure… And probably, worst of all, is the greedy little bastard who owns the map. All this manages to catch the attention of our wandering adventurers, Kansas Stamps and Will Bell (and The Hole in The Coral Wall Gang), which ramps up the adventure considerably. And all this takes us on… THE ROAD TO MEXICO Reviews When the gods need entertainment, they turn to the writings of Michael Reisig, just as I do! And The Road To Mexico does not disappoint. I especially loved the cursing parrot, and enjoyed the crazy bandits and the Confederate treasure, all straight from the mind of Reisig. Pure entertainment, just as all stories should be! Don Rich, author of the bestselling Coastal Adventure Series and Mobjack Adventures In the central highlands of Mexico at the base of the Mexico’s primary mountain range, there is a small town populated mostly by extraordinary females. If that wasn’t enough, there’s the miserable local Mexican bandit and his horde of miserable misfits, who unfortunately, work the area regularly, as well as a tribe of unhappy Indians, a greedy idiot with a map, and of course… a marvelous treasure to make your eyeteeth ache… Adventure/romance author David Thatcher
