Pruett's Secret

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Thousands of people watch the skies in wonder, tens of thousands watch because they believe,...and many hundreds have been witness to unexplained objects in the sky, most with common sense enough to know the difference between something of this earth, and something that is not! Then there are those who are of one mind, to disbelieve!...Why? Because they have never been witness, or just never thought about it,...they know who they are! Max Pruett was one of the latter. He never considered the possibility, until he witnessed it first-hand. But the memory of this sighting will last forever. He was a cattle rancher, pure and simple, he had a wife and son,...and until that night was happy with his life just the way it was. Staying the night on Carbon Creek, on land that he owned, he witnessed the strange, gliding, almost silver-looking object glide over him not fifty feet off the grassy meadow,...and then watched it crash, nose-first into a two hundred foot tall solid clay bluff, not a half mile away. When he investigated, he was thrown into an adventure that would last ten days as he would help an alien visitor from a distant world destroy an invading killer from even further away. Failure could possibly change the world’s religious beliefs, and possibly the future, because the alien killer was a destroyer of civilizations,...and they would have to find him in some of the most rugged country there was, The Rocky Mountains of central Colorado!...And no one would ever know, because he was sworn to secrecy. Find out why in “Pruett’s Secret” Thank you for reading.

The San Juan Reprisal

By: Otis Morphew

If you were sixteen years old and your parents were going hunting without you, would you be disappointed? If you were to find out they had both disappeared while hunting, would you be devastated? If you found out the search for them had been called off, would you be terrified? Young Mitchell Zant was also, and so was his best friend. Sixteen-year-old Reno Cortez was Michael and Nora Zants godson, and when Mitch and Reno heard the search had been called off, both knew what they had to do, for if they did not, both knew that the senior Zants would never be found . . . They would have to find them themselves! Although they themselves were avid hunters, only Reno, being half Apache Indian, had been taught by his father to track prey in the wilderness. Young Mitchell, having an IQ of well over a hundred and fifty would become the tactician. Together they would attempt to find and save Mitchells parents from a ruthless Columbian drug cartels drug operation high in the San Juan Mountains of southern Colorado. Fear, dread, and urgency would guide them in their search and would keep them going when all other search attempts had been called off! They were only sixteen years old andthough armed with rifles, handguns, and a bow with arrowswere about to go up against a small army of Columbian killers with German-made MP-40 machine guns. And with no hope of winning in an all-out gun battle with such a group of seasoned killers, they would need a plan and some help from within the compound itself. Were they mature enough for such a venture, especially with the prospects of dying so heavy on their minds? We will see!

UPSHUR?S WAY

By: Otis Morphew

Escorting three escaped convicts back to Fort Smith, Arkansas, to hang should be an easy enough task even from Shreveport, Louisiana. Boring and long, but easy . . . and Marshal Rodney Taylor was saddled with the job. Having seen the prison at Fort Smith, he knew that escape was not possible without help and related that belief to Upshur, who then volunteered to go with him. They were right! From the moment they left Shreveport with the prisoners, they were followed by the same men who had abetted their escape from prison . . . and they had plans to do it again! Only this time, they would have to kill a U, S. Marshal, and Bill Upshur to free them, and were relentless in their pursuit. Upshur would pit his skills against an ex-military sniper in the Union Army, a man, with the mind of a genius when it came to tactical planning, and procedures. A man with medals to prove it! Only this time, for the first time, frustration had entered his mind, making him unsure of his movements....And he would need to accomplish the task at hand to renew his own self confidence! But Upshur was determined not to allow Rodney to fail his last mission as Marshal, as he has planned to resign his post on arrival at Fort Smith. He would somehow see that he succeeded, and returned home to his family alive and well. Why would he do this, when so many others would not? Because he is Upshur, and it's his way!

Upshur’S Dilemma

By: Otis Morphew

Billy Upshur had always been a man of reason, able to think out any problem that might arise and handle it objectively. It was his nature if it involved family. If it did not have to do with family, it could most generally be solved with a gun in one way or another. But the one he had on returning home with his family and friends, could not be solved with tact, or with his gun. The one he had now, was one he was trying desperately to push to the back of his mind, hopefully, even to forget. But it was hard, because Jaclyn Garnette was a woman he would remember for as long as he lived. He would never hurt Connie, that was unthinkable, his love for her was never ending, and just the thought of leaving his beloved family for another woman was devastating to even think about. It would never happen, he knew this, but it was hard to look at Connie with Jaclyn on his mind, thats why he spent a great many late afternoons at the corral grooming the little Roan mustang, and the big black Jim Stockwell had given him. After several months, he did manage to push Jaclyn aside, or so he thought. Because as the old saying goes, when it rains, it pours! As fate was bound to have it, they were all sitting down to supper late one afternoon when Rodney brought news of a heartbreaking event, one that almost broke his heart, one that would throw him back into the role of gunfighter, and manhunter. Jaclyns Foreman had been murdered, and she herself seriously wounded, and fighting for her life. To Billy Upshur, they both were considered family, and without saying, when family was wronged, as was his way, he would see about it! Only this time, Connie insisted on going back with him, because Jaclyn was the woman that saved his life, and she was bent on being there for her as well. It also meant that Rodney, and his wife were to go with him also, and he dared not refuse any of them. Something was definitely wrong in Decatur, Texas, and he had been summoned by Jaclyns friends to make it right again, and if it was the last thing he ever did, he would see about it!

The Rippling Storm

A Time Odyssey

By: Otis Morphew

Is time travel possible?...There are scientists who believe that it will be in a few years. But who knows for sure what nature can do, or forces higher than we? I sure don’t,...and neither did Cory and Jessica Vance,...until it happened! One minute, they were asleep in their own bed, in 2007, and the next morning, they woke up in someone else’s house, in the year 1876! Sound bizarre?...To say the least! Why did it happen to them,...and for what reason? That was only two of a few dozen questions they pondered on for the next sixteen days,...and became an adventure they would never forget! They were doing things only imagined before. They were suffering fear of the unknown, fear of losing their humanity or, who they were,...all without knowing why it had happened? There were dozens of theories, maybes and what ifs, but the bottom line was that they were thought to be someone they were not and because of that, were forced to carry out an event that had already happened once,...but now, it would happen again, with them as the new cast in an ongoing serial. They were about to face dying at the hands of a ruthless killer if the madman’s plot succeeded,...and it would succeed unless Cory was able to change the outcome of what had already happened! But if he did, they also knew that it could change the future and that, blended with the dreaded fear of dying was what worried them the most. The thought of leaving their family, and they not knowing what had happened to them was devastating. But they had no choice, they had been sent to the past, obviously to right a wrong that happened there. But why,...to fix a wrong that happened in 2007?...One that was about to happen,...what? They may never know! This is a time odyssey, a glimpse of what could be possible,...and no one knows for certain that it is not,...and who knows, science may discover the secret, but if it does, it’ll be because a greater force allowed it, a force that already has the formula.

Upshur 1877

Paris, Texas, a Town on Fire

By: Otis Morphew

William Upshur and friends fi nally had life at the mountain going their way. Th e bridge through the bat caves large entrance was at last fi nished, as well as the massive wall of logs surrounding it. Th e Trading Post was in operation, their homes built and occupied. Rodney Taylor, and Peter Birdsong were busy with their duties as Federal Marshals. They were settled in and happy. But as we all know, as did they, nothing ever stays the same. Th ere are always those who get in the way of progress, or happiness, no matter how set in concrete. If not some one, then some thing will always interfere, and in this case, it was fi re. Upshur;s beloved Paris, Texas was on fi re, started by a drunken stepson, and so it happened that they were all visiting their families there at the time. Th fire, however, was not all they were to contend with, there was a retreating gang of renegades, led by a Mormon fugitive, hiding out in the old abandoned shipping port of Jonesboro when the fi re broke out. Th e group of men had been chased across three states by both the army, and local law enforcement agencies for months before losing the trail in Texas. A town on fi re would furnish just the cover they needed to blow the burned-out banks iron safe and fi nance their escape to Mexico. But there was an unexpected obstacle in place....UPSHUR was in town, as was Marshal Rodney Taylor.
