Storme Front

3.9/5 ( ratings)

Wyatt Storme is his own man. An ex-NFL star with two tours of duty in Vietnam, Storme is a skeptical Thoreau-style hero who bolted to a life of solitude when he felt fenced in by life in the fast lane - he's funny that way. Some wise investments and the love of Sandra Collingsworth, a TV anchorwoman, have made the transition easier, allowing Storme to retreat to his Colorado mountaintop home, free to enjoy his semi-reclusive lifestyle or involve himself in quixotic enterprises. In Storme Front it's the latter. Fresh from his adventures foiling drug manufacturers in Dreamsicle, Storme finds himself reluctantly drawn into a web of murder, extortion, and high-level politics when he attempts to extricate longtime friend Matt Jenkins from an unsavory connection to a cadre of contraband gun merchants. Complicating matters is a dark secret from Storme's past that threatens to jeopardize his fragile relationship with Sandy - a relationship that Storme depends on to prevent his retreat into the darker side of his personality. Assisting Storme again is the enigmatic Chick Easton, a modern bounty hunter with a sideways worldview and a classified Vietnam dossier. Together they encounter some of the most powerful and predatory men in the Rockies , entertaining each other along the way with the biting, rapid-fire wit of two men who have seen too much without looking away - two men best described as nineties dropouts.
