Stone, The Adventures of Rhone & Stone, book 1 A heartfelt story of the old west, the way you never heard it. Rhone lived his whole lonely life on the outskirts of the small, worn out, back-country town of Skragmoore, until the day he picked up a pretty rock from the river. That one simple action changed his entire world. Stone, the ages old crystalline entity knew a tremendous amount about most things, but virtually nothing about people. Rhone quickly found that knowing by thinking, and knowing by doing, were not the same thing at all. When Commissioner Dodge heard of an interesting happening, and sent his men to find, buy or steal the unique piece, it sent Rhone running to the badlands to escape. Unfortunately, the badlands were named for a very good reason. The unexpected meeting with The Commissioner's men wasn't so good either. With Stone taken, it's up to Rhone, first to survive, then to find and rescue his friend. The story becomes even more twisted, when the OPR gets involved and their agents work to find evidence against The Commissioner. A genre melding YA action adventure / gaslight western, with a sci-fi twist. A fun read for the entire family.
