Synopsis

In Ridgwell Cullum's gripping novel, "The Forfeit," readers are plunged into the tumultuous world of frontier life in the late 19th century. The narrative skillfully intertwines elements of adventure and moral quandary, as it explores themes of justice, sacrifice, and redemption through dynamic character portrayals and vivid descriptions of the rugged landscape. Cullum's literary style is marked by a meticulous attention to detail and a profound sense of place, reminiscent of contemporaries such as Jack London and Zane Grey, while also invoking the ethical dilemmas faced by individuals in a lawless society. Ridgwell Cullum, a prolific writer and ardent lover of the American West, draws heavily from his experiences as an outdoorsman and his fascination with the rugged individualism that characterized early frontier societies. His writing often reflects the complexities of human nature and the choices individuals must make in dire situations, which is exemplified in "The Forfeit." Cullum's background and deep understanding of the themes of honor and consequence are evident throughout the novel, enriching its impact. I highly recommend "The Forfeit" for readers who appreciate character-driven narratives set against the backdrop of the American frontier. This novel not only entertains with its thrilling plot but also provokes thoughtful reflection on morality and the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity.

    Not everything they told you is true… 
    …because it was my job to ensure you never knew the whole truth. If the American people understood what really happened, the U.S. government feared life would have irrevocably changed for the worse. 
    In Space Chase, the premier installment of The Palmdale Files, former agent Harold Anderson reveals the true story behind a mysterious Lockheed U-2 "Dragon Lady" crash in the mountains of Nevada and the extreme efforts the U.S. government went through to hide what happened. Space Chase—also known as Event 21 Zeta—is the first in a series of forgotten and buried events the author once destroyed to protect the peace and security of the United States—events the government would rather hide forever.

The Palmdale Files share highlights from Harold Anderson's U.S. Air Force career, where he worked to defend the nation and the world from paranoid hysteria about unexplained phenomena and threats from above.
