Story description: Waco Lariat Goodnight's dad,
Charlie Goodnight, takes his young cowboy son to a slave auction house
to buy him a personal body slave for his twelfth birthday. The
boy picks out a huge lummox creature to befriend and rescue from the
hands of an unscrupulous slave dealer who is trying to pass off the
man-monster as a hairy escaped slave. It's the beginning of a
wonderful adventure for him and his dad in a world where slavery has
been reintroduced within the U.S. by a powerful pseudo-christianist
fundamentalist political power-based corporate theocracy who rewrite
the Constitution for
their own warped purposes. They insist it's okay to own slaves
because the bible tells them so. Fundamentalism has almost become
the equivalent of the Islamic Taliban.
This novel is about the suffocation and abuse of organized religion as
has been witnessed so many times in the past where people have had to
relocate to escape persecution or to free themselves from rigid, life
choking dogma exemplified by the early Roman Catholic Church, Islam and
rabid fundamentalism of any variety. It is the story of a group
of folks who band together to join with an old space cowboy who has
returned to Earth with a fleet of ships to save those who have learned
the difference between myth and reality.
Waco’s Lummox is an homage and tribute to Robert Heinlein for all the
many pleasant hours he afforded me reading his works when I was a young
man. His insights and humor helped me at a time in my life when I
needed hope, guidance and encouragement when there was none. It
is Waco, and Charlie Goodnight’s story and the gathering together of
those of like minds and talents to be ‘raptured’ in the final
days. It is purposely written in a loosely based rambling style
reminiscent of Heinlein’s last great work, “Time Enough For
Love.”
This story is pure fantasy and has limited claim to any reality except
the author's personal study of cryptozoological creatures and
speculation about them. Any reference of sex with a minor within
this story is done so within the context of the fantasy world created
by the author and has no basis in reality; neither, would he ever
condone such. If you have a difficult time separating fact from
fiction don't read this story!
