The Ballad of Bryan Drayne

Roderus paints an exciting picture of a lawless time in Montana/Idaho territory, where a guy’s life could be in danger over as little as a piece of lukewarm apple pie. This story is full of both laugh out loud funny and harrowing moments, as Bryan Drayne, a businessman adrift in this wild time, must play a cat-and-mouse game with a band of drunken vigilantes. Roderus spins his yarn with equal parts irony and quick-draw wit, and had me rooting for his unlikely hero.
