To his rival, Mish Abbott was a sexual opportunist who stalked his victim relentlessly until her defenses were down. He sleep-raped her, impregnated her, and tricked her into a marriage. He stole Jacks from Adam Compton, the woman destiny had chosen for him as his life-partner, the love of his life, and he would have to go vigilante to take her back, even if it took him the rest of his life, and would use whatever devious means he had, at his disposal to get her.If you had asked Mish Abbott, he would tell you that his rival, Adam, was a cunning, evil, manipulator of people, who wanted to steal his loving wife and children away from him, using deception, cunning, and lies, and when that failed, he had resorted to a contracted assassin because he could not love anyone else and insanely believed that Jacks had been designated to him by some ethereal being called destiny.Two rivals, go to war for the same woman, even though an intransigent providence has already decided, as it always does in the game of love and mating, who will belong to whom. Mish Abbott is out gunned and in every department, but when those ethereal beings that channel our life paths took their eye off the ball for just one second, a mistake was made and the life paths of their three vassals were skewed and derailed. Corrections had to be made. Mish vowed he would never give her up and he would fight to the end to keep his family, using whatever power and resource he could marshal, be they from the material world we understand, or from sources beyond the realms of reality, where insanity prevails.The story traces the inter-relationships of the participants and source of the conflict that impacts on the two generations that proceed them, from the battlegrounds of Texas and New Orleans, to the land of the big dry, the desert outback of Australia, and beyond, to where the imagination boundaries the cosmos. The war exposes the combatants, and their allies, as the villains, adulterers, betrayers and manipulators of people's affections they are, while at the same time, defends them as innocent victims, only because that's what they all, from their individual perspectives, also were.As a consequence of the dueling, and in the middle of the battle, the victor, about to stamp his victory flag into the soft Texan soils and claim the prize, the heart of the woman he could never let go of, finds a large swath of his existence has disappeared overnight, and the only thing that ever mattered to him, his life partner, is gone. He must find his missing past, marshal his forces, and rise again to take back what he believes is his, but this time he has an armory, an inventory of ordinance that flutters around the fringes of the paranormal world and lies beyond the imagination of reality.The book, while it has a backdrop of the paranormal and borderline science-fiction, delving into alien existence and the way-out-there creation theories, is essentially a romantic tragedy with erotic content about people in conflict over love. Sub-plots and undercurrents swirl around secondary characters, innocents who have had the misfortune to bump elbows with the man they say walked the deadly Sandfire desert, into a whirlpool where, if they are able to survive the contact, have their preordained life-paths forever changed.
