Pantera Triple Play
A new generation of Pantera men takes up the legacy of their
fathers under the watchful eye of the women they love. Born into the 21st
Century, they blaze a trail seeking justice for the oppressed and the victims
of circumstance.
A novella of 37,700 words, “Triple Play” consists of three tales
that take artistic license with several myths and legends handed down to us
over the centuries.
Blood
Curse
Before everyone gets excited and thinks this is another
vampire saga, be warned, vampires don’t exist (at least we hope not).
Christian and JJ (John Jr.) Pantera accept the call from
Interpol to join in the search for a couple of mechanized, blood sucking
monsters that have attached helpless victims across the European Union. Joined
by two very beautiful and talented assistants, they set off in their father’s
footsteps, bent on continuing the family legacy of seeking justice for the
downtrodden. Unbeknownst to them, a dreaded family curse raises its head and
their only recourse is to deal with it once and for all.
The Wolf Man of Sherwood Forest
Desperation can force a man to go against his very nature
and change him into a monster.
Robin Huxley loves his wife, but she’s near death and all
the love he has for her is not enough. Now he must disregard his conscience and
seek a means to provide their family with the funds it needs to cure her. The
Wolf Man of Sherwood Forest arises and instigates a criminal spree that draws
the attention of Interpol to the land of Robin Hood. Agent Christian Pantera
and his partner, Dr. Melody Pendleton take on the assignment to stop the
attacks and bring justice to the region, but justice is not always simple and
it does take a wise person to find it.
The
Adorable Snowman of Shangri-La
Myth and legend mingle with historical fact and resound like
echoes from the distant past. JJ Pantera learns how true this can be as he
travels to the remote regions of Tibet with Genevieve de Mortaine on a simple
mission to deliver a package to his uncle, Simon Pantera. Unfortunately, Uncle
Simon’s got himself into a bit of trouble with the locals and hasn’t been seen for
days. Their only recourse is to traipse through the mountain ridges of the
Chinese highlands and wrestle him from the clutches of a crazed man while struggling
with encounters of the famed yeti snowmen.
