The Legacy of the Black Heart Stone

Beschreibung

Based on actual events and true Texas history, The Legacy of the Black Heart Stone is a fast-paced thrill ride through Texas and Northern Mexico, fraught with danger and featuring a magnificent cast of unpredictable characters led by Luis De Zavala, a rookie archeologist and direct descendent of one of the Founding Fathers of the Republic of Texas. In his quest to find and protect valuable historic artifacts, including the highly-prized stone-if it even exists-he must stay one step ahead of an angry Mexican drug cartel, law enforcement officers, and his arch-nemesis, an established archeologist with questionable ethics. A high-octane adventure story that would do credit to Indiana Jones.

Autor

When he was ten years old, Mike Lowrie and his younger brother ran away from home, not with the intent to join the circus, but for the adventure. That's how it all started. Born and raised in Texas, he grew up in the region of East Texas that included cotton fields and the famed piney woods of the Nacogdoches area. He spent his boyhood in a rural life, hunting, fishing and exploring. In 1972, he moved to San Antonio, where he graduated from John Marshall High School and then joined the U.S. Army. He spent a total of four years as a military policeman, then later, ten years in the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve. He attended Sam Houston State University in Huntsville and the University of Texas in San Antonio. In 1985, Mike joined Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show as a trick roper and horse trainer. In 1986, he was hired as an assistant wagon master for the Texas Wagon Train Sesquicentennial Celebration. As a civilian he worked as a cowboy, oilfield roughneck, truck driver, lawman and owned and ran his own construction business for over twenty years. Now retired and living in Bandera County, Mike Lowrie writes books, incorporating his experiences into stories that take place mostly in Texas.
