    Forty years earlier, Buster and a college buddy looked for old Spanish gold in this same area of southwestern Colorado. It started when Ray, his buddy, discovered some pages of an old diary interleaved in the pages of an equally old Bible. He spoke Spanish and when he read the text, it described the escape of two Spanish miners from an Indian massacre in the mountains north of what is now Durango. Buster and his pal spent the better part of two weeks looking for the mine and smelter described in the diary. They found a gold encrusted crucible, but not the smelter. Nor could they locate the stash of gold ingots the diary's author said they had to leave behind to escape the Indian attack. When Buster's friend dies, his daughter sends Buster the bone ash crucible. It stirs found memories and Buster has no trouble convincing Evan to take some time and go treasure hunting with him. Forty years previous, Buster and his pal were on a tight budget. This trip Evan and Buster go first class with state-of-the-art metal detectors, GPS units, a string of horses, and first class food. All starts well, but things become complicated fast when Evan finds a body floating in the West Dolores River. Perhaps Buster and Evan aren't the only treasure hunters interested in Buster's old Spanish gold.

    Races operating within their own planetary systems are to be left alone until they begin to develop the ability to travel at FTL (faster than light speeds). When the ability to travel at FTL becomes apparent, one of the members of the Federation is nominated to help ease the newcomer through the Galactic citizenship process. Unfortunately, not all the galaxies systems belong to the Federation, and some of those systems are much less than friendly. The last several decades have seen the development of war like societies that systematically loot developing planets. They take the water, and other precious resources, including slaves, leaving the remaining native inhabitants a barren planet. Without resources the population simply dies a slow death. The Egolari are here because we, meaning the people of Earth, happen to possess a skill set and an aptitude that is critical to the needs of the Federation. The major problem within the Federation is that virtually all the members have, for centuries been living in peace. They have developed a society that is not well suited to counter the growing violence presented by the nonaligned races. In short, they have no way to protect themselves, let alone protect the fledgling races just arriving on the galactic scene. Enter Earth. Of all the emerging races to become future galactic members, one has a superior potential to face the violence threatened by the nonaligned races. You guessed it, Humanity. The Federation realized that to continue to function as an organized galactic society, they would have to develop a military arm that could provide the Federation and emerging systems the protection of a fleet of space vessels and marines. Humanity was the race most capable of leading the development of that military organization because we had not progressed so far that our war like tendencies had begun to erode. Although we were not yet ready for galactic membership, we were a necessity that could fill the need, thus we were getting a crash course in how to travel the galaxy, protecting ourselves and the Federation with the full expectation that we would go where no human has gone before, and kick some alien ass.

    Crystal blames the Raelin and the man who sent her father Max to die, the former Archmage Kevin Wilson. If Crystal's Aunt Mattie has her way Crystal would get no revenge, instead Crystal would be married to Alton Story, a disgusting boy who spends most of his time in brothels. More than Story has asked about Crystal, she is one of the few female mages in the kingdom and many people had asked about her to her selfish Aunt Mattie.

    Now why don’t you let them be, and I’ll buy you a glass of milk.” “You should really mind your own business, mister,” Red hissed. “Now I call that pretty bold talk for a man not carrying a gun.” Tom’s finger tips drummed against the side of his holster. “Who says I ain’t?” Red’s eyes were wide as saucers and his lower jaw jutted out. “What’s your name, friend?” Tom loudly asked the man in the noose.
