The ultimate modern western! Landslide tells the story of four people caught up in events beyond their control in the El Paso - Las Cruces area of the American Southwest. Set in 1986, the events could have happened yesterday, so little have the issues and problems of the area changed. The characters include: Stuart Prescott, the king and patron of southern Doña Ana County, New MexicoMac Frazier, the hotheaded rancher and owner of the Bar-DMary Lou Frazier, the discontented wife of MacAimee Barnes, the Carolina sweetheart with a devastating secretTippy Gallagher, the beautiful consort to an Aztec godGuadalupe Garza, the teenager alone in world of slave traffickers.Living in an area between the US and Mexico, Anglos and Mexicans vie for dominance against a background of conflicting cultures, drugs, illegal alien traffic, chili cook-offs, and free-spirited western living. There are no heroes, only casualties and survivors.
Frustrated with the political correctness required to gain his PhD, Cameron Stewart, a Vietnam veteran, allies himself with a brilliant NIH researcher to test his theories.In the laboratory they create a drug enabling rats to access knowledge inherited from their parents, and treat their only child with the compound they developed. The result is Sophia, fully equipped at birth with the knowledge and language capabilities of her parents and forefathers at the time she was conceived.Sophia rises in the CIA to brilliantly shape policy, all the while building a family of seven boys similarly gifted to carry on her legacy. The Stewarts and their allies are all Amulots, American-Ulster-Scots. They build the world's largest corporation, but desire to restore America to the greatness achieved by their ancestors. Half of the states nullify the Federal Government, and civil war ensues. It is a war of a few giants against many deluded Lilliputians led by those who would enslave the world, and a battle of knowledge against ignorance.
