Slocum gets culture shock—and it’s never felt so good… Slocum can’t believe his eyes when he sees an Indian maharajah with an entourage in the Grand Tetons. The prince is looking to bag a bear—and hires Slocum’s friend Hugh as his guide. But when Hugh turns up dead, without apology or explanation from the Eastern potentate, Slocum vows to serve up some revenge, Western-style. Among the entourage is a curvaceous consul who’s been ignored one too many nights—and sets to teaching Slocum something called the Kama Sutra, page by tantalizing page. Lakshmi’s well versed in pleasures of the flesh—but she also knows all His Highness’s secrets. And she has news for Slocum: Hugh’s death was no accident…

Behind Slocum stand seven magnificent women… When renegade Apaches abduct Albert Grant’s daughter, the Texan cattle baron wants Slocum to rescue her. Slocum agrees on one condition—that Grant stops harassing the Mormon “widows” who lost their husbands when polygamy was enforced in the Sulfur Springs Valley. Grant’s daughter is safely returned. But the ruthless landowner still wants control of the entire valley—and unleashes his hired guns against the “widows” to scare them off. Slocum should have known better than to make a deal with the devil—and now he’s going to help the ladies show Grant why hell hath no fury like a woman scorned…

Slocum gets caught up in a big-time heist in a small-time town… John Slocum and his pard have finally steered two thousand head of cattle from Abilene, Texas, to their Kansas home. After six weeks on the trail, both men are itchin’ for some company of the female kind. Abigail Stanley fits the bill any which way you look at her—and, in addition to her comely figure and come-hither glances, she has a head for business. Slocum’s all too willing to learn some of the tricks of her trade—but getting involved with Miss Stanley means getting wrapped up in something much less pleasant than her lovin’ arms. She has it in her noggin that a big-time railway to her hometown of No Consequence, Nebraska, would translate into untold fortune for the so far unfortunate village. So, anxious to set things a-rolling, the townspeople willingly dish out their money for this joint venture with a Mr. Rafe Ferguson. Everything seems right as rain—until Slocum learns more than he should about the supposed benefactor of what is merely an imaginary Platte & Central Plains Railroad…

The Heart of Liberty, a New York Times bestselling novel by Thomas Fleming, has been hailed as "The Gone with the Wind of the American Revolution." Told from the perspective of James, "Jemmy" Kemble, writing for his grandchildren, the opening of the book reads, "Let me caution in strictest terms against publishing what I write. The nation is not ready to face the truth about itself that an honest story of the Revolution must mirror." Kemble thus recalls the great event of his life - the upheaval that created the United States of America. His honest story unflinchingly depicts the panic and cowardice, the greed and brutality that were part of the war for independence. It also celebrates the Americans who struggled to cope with the chaos of a war most of them never wanted. Fleming expertly blends his fictional characters with the great men of the Revolution - George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Sir William Howe - as well as a host of other vivid characters. With a historian's insight and a novelist's skill, Fleming has produced a panorama that vividly recreates and matches the complexity and drama of America's first war.
