The Last of the Smoking Bartenders
What you need to know before your trail
Tom believes he is a secret agent deep undercover racing to stop terrorists from blowing up the Hoover Dam. Forced to live off the grid, without paper money because of tracking devices in the watermarks, and aided by a homeless raft guide and a band of meth dealing Navajos, he hunts down a terrorist network one Molotov cocktail at a time. But is it all a delusion? Are they actually killing innocent people? Chased by a beautiful but damaged FBI agent and a crossbow wielding psychopath, Tom must stay one step ahead of his pursuers and save the country he loves, all on less than a dollar a day.
Travel Guide
Green River
“Green River was awash in dust and sand. The wind picked up outside the car. Tey passed a few houses abandoned decades ago, tumbleweed bunched up against a low barbed wire fence, a new Shell station and food mart with a fairly brisk traffic of motorist fueling for either the fifty miles stretch to Grand Junction, Colorado, or the ninety mile stretch to Price, Utah a few more abandoned houses and a few more occupied but in various stages of disrepair and then Main street with three blocks of the original 1890s’s buildings, most storefronts vacant.”
The Hoover Dam
One of the greatest engineering achievements in human history, Hoover Dam continues to draw crowds 80 years after its creation. This place is HUGE and you have no idea how big until you stand on it and even then it’s too big to take in. It might be man made but it’s one of the seven wonders in a parallel universe.
Navajo country
The heart of Navajo country as seen in the book is Holbrook
