Overview: Darrell W. Maloney is an American author from Texas, and many of his novels are based there. His best selling book "The Secession of Texas" achieved critical acclaim and was called "captivating" and a "must-read" by the Wall Street Journal.
He wasn’t always a writer, though. For twenty one years he served his country in the United States Air Force. Then he worked for the Atlanta Braves baseball team. It wasn’t until he turned fifty that he decided to share his literary talents.
"Many of these stories have been rolling around in my head for years," Maloney has said. When I was fifty three years old, I finally decided to see if others might be interested in hearing them."
Maloney has a handful of characters he uses in recurring roles in several of his novels. His readers have a chance to get to know these characters as though they are old friends.
Genre: Science Fiction | Fantasy | Post-Apocalyptic
1 ~ Red: The Adventure Begins: Red was a bit of an enigma. She was all woman, and a beautiful one at that. She never really wanted the attention of the men who always seemed to vie for her affection, and she hated to break their hearts. But the fact was, few of them interested her.
It wasn’t their fault. It was just the way she was brought up. For although she had a softer side, Red was also tough. Texas tough, her father called it. It was easier to keep men at arm’s length than it was to let them believe they could capture her heart.
Red lost her mother at an early age and was raised by a father who worshipped her.
He also equipped her with all the tools she’d need later when times got tough. She could hunt, fish and rope a steer as well as any man.
When the worst natural disaster in the history of the world destroyed life as she knew it, her toughness kept her alive.
And when her family was murdered, she became something else too. She became determined to find the killers and bring them to justice. Even if she had to administer it herself.
2 ~ Too Tough to Tame: Red never had it easy. After she lost her mom to cancer at a very young age, she was raised by her father to be tough. He meant well, he really did. But since she lacked female role models, she grew up a diamond in the rough. Tougher than most men and headstrong to boot, she was socially awkward and shunned by many women. But she attracted men anyway. They couldn’t help themselves. She was beautiful and genuine. She stood up for the oppressed, and took no guff from anyone.
Many men were intimidated by her, but not Russell. Russell saw Red for what she really was… an unpolished gem and an amazing woman. He was man enough to tame her. For a while, anyway.
The world went black, as solar storms sent powerful electromagnetic pulses to knock out anything which ran on electricity.
But that was only the beginning. Russell and Red’s young son, Rusty, were killed when their home mysteriously exploded. Red retreated to the deep woods to find solace, as she’d done periodically since she was a child. The forest had a way of wrapping its arms around her and comforting her. And helping her to regain her bearings.
Each time in the past, Red had returned from her self-imposed exiles to find the world a much easier place to deal with. But not this time. This time she returned to find her father dead as well. Murdered by a band of greedy thugs for reasons she couldn’t fathom. She didn’t understand why he had to die as well. But she intended to find out.
In this installment Red learns that the man who carried out the murders has absconded. Tracking him in a world where few machines exist wouldn’t be easy. But again, nothing had ever been easy for Red. Difficult tasks didn’t deter her, so she set off on a three hundred mile journey to find Jesse Luna. To find out for sure who hired him, and who else was involved. She intended to take him into custody and see him tried for murder. But a very big part of her wanted him to resist. So she could administer her own brand of justice instead.
3 ~ A Lesson Learned: Red was what old-timers call a “strange breed.” She was all woman, and a beautiful one at that.
She never really wanted the attention of the men who always seemed to vie for her affection, and she hated to break their hearts. But the fact was, few of them interested her.
Red lost her mother at an early age and was raised by a father who worshipped her.
He also equipped her with all the tools she’d need later when times got tough. She could hunt, fish and rope a steer as well as any man.
When the worst natural disaster in the history of the world destroyed life as she knew it, her toughness kept her alive.
But others she loved weren’t so lucky. Her husband and young son were killed in an apparent accident. An accident which severely injured Red and burned her house to the ground.
An accident which turned out not to be an accident at all.
They were murdered.
She’d get no help from the police.
Blanco’s Chief of Police was a brutal banker who’d won the position by coercion. And he was at the top of her list of suspects.
Austin was the home of the Texas Rangers, and she thought of going there to plea for help.
But Austin was a six day ride on horseback. And she had no proof to offer them. Only her suspicions.
Red decided she didn’t need them. Not the police, not the Rangers. She’d solve the murders herself. And in the absence of an honest judicial system, she’d administer justice herself. The way Texans used to do it.
