In this fast-paced sequel to "The Little Primitive," readers not only get reacquainted with the title character, but the love of his life, too. And no Josh Langston novel would be complete without a memorable supporting cast. This time it's a wannabe mobster, a cherubic stripper, a pair of villains who can't even *spell* ETHICS, and some fishermen who don't play by anyone's rules. Living on the edge of a Wyoming desert, Tori Lanier has seen her share of strange things. Not the least of which is Mato, a two-foot tall native American Indian whose outlook on life is as indomitable as his spirit. When Mato returns to Tori's remote cabin with his diminutive mate, the lives of all three become entangled in a bizarre plot that threatens the existence of Mato's entire tribe. Nothing short of a race across the country and a pitched battle with an evil entrepreneur in his armed camp will save the tiny lovers, and their clan from total disaster. In the process, Tori finds a love of her own. But the secrecy that might save Mato's people stands between Tori and her own soul mate.
