Dear All: We’re delighted to announce that A SEARING WIND the third book in the CONTACT: BATTLE FOR AMERICA series has been released! If you enjoyed COMING OF THE STORM and FIRE THE SKY, you’ll love the continuing adventures of Black Shell and Pearl Hand. Only this time they have to worry if Hernando de Soto, or Black Shell’s mother will kill him first. Talk about “family dysfunction.” Collectors note: Due to the down-turn in publishing, there will be limited numbers of hardbacks printed. Simon & Schuster may not go back to press. We urge you to snatch yours up quickly. If you can’t find a copy in your local bookstore, please use the links on the Gear-Gear.com homepage.
