Lightning Ridge

Lightning Ridge! is an historical adventure. The subject is the continuing adventures of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, what happened to them after their well-reported shootout in Bolivia......about their escape from South America, their new mate and partner, an unsettled Australian rogue whose quick actions save their lives and their under-maintained, broken-down sailing vessel! This tale includes chases, a manure-laden sea voyage, poker, opals, shoot-outs, foul play, fore play, bombs, a serious attempt to go straight, a last-ditch, big-time train heist; a good look at Australia and a serious lesson in what friends really mean (its matesmanship, mate), a return to Hole-In-The-Wall;...all sprinkled with loyalty, fortitude, admiration, humor, lovin, outstanding marksmanship, and a low body count, all twisting to a surprise ending.
