Kurzbiographie: Wayne Dundee grew up and spent the first fifty-plus years of his life around the state line area of northern Illinois/southern Wisconsin. He was always an avid reader and decided at an early age that one day he wanted to be a writer himself. Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer influenced the primary direction his own writing would eventually take -- hardboiled detective mysteries. Dundee sold his first short story, featuring Rockford, Illinois-based PI Joe Hannibal, in 1982. Since then there have been, to date, over twenty Hannibal short stories, three novellas, and six Hannibal novels. He has also penned a handful of short stories in other genres and soon will have a Western novel ublished. Dundee's work has been published in several languages and has received nominations for an Edgar, an Anthony, and six Shamus awards. He is also the founder and original editor of Hardboiled Magazine. In 1998, Dundee moved from Illinois to west central Nebraska. In the 2007 novel THE DAY AFTER YESTERDAY Joe Hannibal followed suit. Dundee recently retired as general manager for a small manufacturing facility and is now devoting full time to writing. Subsequent to the passing of his beloved wife Pam, Dundee shares a home in Ogallala, Nebraska, with his daughter and three grandchildren. He is working on further Joe Hannibal adventures as well as other projects. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IttXgx...

Wanted: Dead (Bodie Kendrick - Bounty Hunter Book 5) von Wayne D. Dundee

About a half hour ago, Mr. Avery was released from Iron Gate Territorial Prison in the Arizona Territory. A transport wagon driven by Rudy Haemmler is being used to transport the just released convict to the nearest town of Fordsburg. Mr. Avery has no idea why the four men on horseback on the narrow trail ahead of them want him so badly they have blocked and stopped the transport. While the heavily armed men claim to have been sent by friends of Mr. Avery to escort him for his safety back home to Tonto City their appearance and behavior indicate otherwise.

Things probably would have violently escalated right then and there if not for the timely intercession of Bounty Hunter Bodice Kendrick. Seven years for a manslaughter conviction there are many folks that want Mr. Avery dead as soon as possible. In a twist from his normal paying work as a bounty hunter, Bodie Kendrick has been hired to keep Mr. Avery alive and get him to another town in the area where he has some friends waiting for him.

Easier said than done. Blue Tom Iverson and his men are not going to let that happen easily. And they may not be the only folks in the harsh desert country looking to get Avery and anyone with him one way or another.

Wanted: Dead is the latest in a rich and highly entertaining western series that began with Hard Trail to Socorro. Wayne D. Dundee has created a complex western series where each tales has elements of a mystery at work that also serves to push the tale forward. This read, like the others, features complex characters doing what they must to survive while at the same time plenty of action keeps things moving at a rapid rate. Wanted: Dead, like the rest of the series that is best when read in order, is a mighty good read and strongly recommended.

Wide Spot in the Road (The Drifter Detective) von Wayne D. Dundee

"Wide Spot In The Road" is the fourth novella in the Drifter Detective series featuring PI Jack Laramie, who travels the Texas roads in a beat up Desoto with a trailer. Not enough detective business in the big cities is drifting his way so he has set out on the road to see what he can stir up. And, trouble is his business so, stopping into a roadside diner for a bowl of chili, he finds trouble. The book is set in the late fifties and Laramie is one tough hombre. Much of the book focuses on a standoff with an outlaw motorcycle gang of the type that made Hollister famous in the fifties. Dundee also drops the name of Mike Hammer with the waitress asking Laramie if he was like Mike Hammer. This is a short piece, but a good, solid fun read. You can really feel how lonely it is in this desolate little spot and Laramie may not do much detecting in this piece, but he sure gets everyone's attention. Good stuff, indeed.… (mehr)

Counterpunch(Fight Card) von Wayne D. Dundee

Wayne Dundee, writing under the house name of Jack Tunney, spins a yarn about a Polish fighter in the blue-collar town of Milwaukee. Danny "The Duke" Dugronski fights several great matches told in such terrific play-by-play action that you'd swear you were watching the match instead of only hearing about it. It might be a cliched story about the mob guy wanting to control the fighter and sending toughs to teach him a lesson when he wont play ball, but this writer makes it work so well it is hard to stop turning the pages. This is the good stuff if you are looking for a story that has all the feel and action of a 1940's boxing story.… (mehr)

Treasure of Ice and Fire (Veridical Dreams) (Volume 2) von Wayne D. Dundee

Billed as the second book in the Veridical Dreams series, it is a harsh night filled with cold and ice as Treasure Of Ice And Fire begins. By cunning and a bit of subterfuge Master Nindocai and his fellow travelers made it through the mountain guard post manned by two of the Wyvar regulators. Getting through that guard post was just one of the many hurdles the group has to overcome in their quest. The fact that the holy man has heard what might be the “Secret Hammer” mentioned in the message from goddess Arya makes it seem that they are on the right track.

Getting to the valley of Gahm was just the first hurdles. Nindocai is a priest of the old gods and part of the religious faith frowned upon to the point of execution by the current regime. He as well as a few other people believe it is long past time to remove the godless Wyvar. The source of the hammering the priest hears is located in the ruins of a temple dedicated to Arya, the goddess of hope. Fortunately, the priest will get some help in Treasure Of Ice And Fire by Wayne D. Dundee.

A Crusade Powered By The Hammer Of The Gods is a line from the cover telling readers all they need to know. This is a fantasy novel featuring a quest. A quest seeking to change the future and the world as these characters know it. Known for his mysteries and westerns, author Wayne D. Dundee proves in Treasure Of Ice And Fire that he can easily write in the fantasy genre as well.

It is one heck of a good read.

Amazon says I picked up the eBook to read and review on March 11, 2016. Amazon does not make a distinction between books I pick up for free during an author promotion and ones that I picked up by way of funds in my Amazon Associate account. At this point in time I have no idea how I got it.
