Jack — David C. Edney

John C. Fremont, runner, reformed engineer, and reluctant owner of Colorado's most devastated mining country, simply wants the property left alone. But an old-school governor, a gaggle of corporate lobbyists, a sleazy ex-scientist with a brand-new scam, a Buddhist lama with a lucrative sideline, and a lady millionaire with a head full of loose screws all have other ideas. At the center of their schemes is the quaint mountain community of Bliss; weekend destination for thousands of outdoor-crazed yuppies, and home of Cactus Jack's American Museum of Mass Destruction. David C. Edney unleashes his wildest, most icon-busting characters yet, in this twisted tale of free-wheeling excess, Colorado style.
