But, before Tucker can take on a new assignment, he must deal with who wants to kill him and why. Praise for "The Other Side of Bad" The Other Side of Bad, by R.O. Barton, like its title, is a gotcha; gotcha and won't let you go until you've been through an assassination attempt in Nashville, a face-off in a Louisiana biker bar, the mother of all drug-deals-gone-bad in the wilds of Mexico, and more between the scenes action than a Rambo night out.Barton casts his characters with disarming frankness-characters large and eccentric-with arcane talents and a taste for brinkmanship. The Other Side of Bad is visual, visceral, and a trip to the other side.-Steven Prati Author of, Cheers from the Bull & Finch Pub
