Jake "Facebreaker" Sharkar lives his life between the lines of law-and-order and outright villainy. Fresh from committing murder, he finds that his employer has a proposition for him. Instead of paying his fee, Jake has the opportunity to help find and share in the profits of recovering the lost treasure of Solomon Lake. A long journey, an unexpected accomplice, and wandering aliens will not keep Jake from garnering glory and promised wealth. Make no mistake, it is unwise to double-cross a man like Jake. And, if those who thought they could double, or triple, or even quadrupole-crosshim, they have another thing coming. Ride through the Host Systems, as Jake, Michael, Davy and Millicent search the galaxy for a fabled cache of alien artifacts looted and lost hundreds of years earlier by the maveric explorer Solomon Lake - that mythological pioneer, miner, and wild-man, who flew by the seat of his pants and lived a life of a libertine - After all, who doesn't want to be a libertine?. Buckle up - it's blastoff time.

In the heart of Buffalo's Allentown, inconspicuously watching in alleys, behind keyholes, and in the sultry shadows atop a bar stool lurks a gumshoe hot on a case. Meet Jake Knight, a hard-boiled, trench coat-wearing, cigar-smoking, private eye that could have walked straight out of central casting. Join him as he and his trusty dog Duke sprightly traverse the city's endless maze of crooks, politicians, and men who blow bubbles, in search of justice and money to pay the rent. Rather than overhearing his inner monologue, we're invited to study the depths of his daily observations through the pages of diary entries he posts every night after last call. Insightful, philosophical, and even poetic at times, Jake Knight's story will be a boffo, instant classic, according to his mother.

Hobbs, a gentle and wise veteran, and his dog Socrates. Erasmus, a good Samaritan, hobo philosopher, jack of all trades, recovering alcoholic, and Vietnam veteran with Agent Orange disease, travels the USA with his black and white cocker spaniel Socrates. Their chariot is a yellow Airstream RV called Emma Goldman, with a picture of the famous revolutionary dancing on the side and her quote, "If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution.". The book is a poignant exploration of forgiveness, transformation, and the celebration of courage as Jake and Erasmus embark on self-discovery and healing.Adventures, tenderness, and surprises abound in this fast-paced novel. Their odyssey takes them through Cleveland and down to a Buddhist retreat called Dignity Village. They meet the Zen master, Roshi Konji, a Vietnam veteran, a Green Beret captain, a recovering alcoholic, and the leader of Dignity Village. Jake meets Sojourner, an herbalist and healer, who becomes her godmother. As they travel down to New Orleans to a homeless shelter, they encounter hobos, wanderers, refugees, and the heroes and angels who help people of all kinds. Jake is a survivor traumatized by her childhood who grows through the story in her journey to forgiveness, both for the family who raised her and for herself."For three months, we wandered across America...helped at homeless shelters, met fellow hobos, saints, and revolutionaries, cleaned up parks, planted gardens, and met the woman who became my Fairy Godmother, the herbalist and healer Sojourner. I learned how to cook, read, write, and tune up Erasmus's Airstream palace called Emma Goldman. In that summer of love, I learned so many things every day. I will tell you more about my extraordinary summer, but before I get too far ahead of myself...most importantly, I learned something I never thought possible. The hardest lesson was to love myself unconditionally. It has been twenty years since I last saw the man who changed my life and probably everybody else who met him. My name is Jake, and this is the story of my summer of love with the extraordinary Erasmus P. Hobbs-my beautiful hobo saint who came dancing into my life on a cloud of possibilities."

Men became bounty hunters for a number of reasons. For some it the money, some to show the world, at least their part of the world, how tough they were, and still others it was to help bring justice to the Fronter where laws and court were few and far between. Most bounty hunters were good trackers and hunters, and often loners. Bounty hunters often did not live long. If they built a reputation as a gunfrighter, or by being good at their job of bringing the lawless to justice, they often became a target for someone who wanted to make a reputation for himself by killing the bounty hunter, or to prevent the bounty hunter from doing his job. Jake Murdock, Bounty Hunter is the story of a young man who didn't start out to be a bounty hunter, but seeking revenge for the ruthless killing of his parents turned him into someone who would seek those who broke the law in order to bring them to justice.
