Texan Mike Blakely is the best-selling author of Comanche Dawn (S1024) and a co-editor of Forever Texas (S1037). Moon Medicine is the story of a boy genius with a peculiar sensitivity to lunar cycles. Jean-Guy lives in a school for boys in France until he murders his vile fencing teacher for raping a woman. He is smuggled aboard a Clipper ship bound for America-the place where he knows he will find the visions of his dreams. Featuring a masterful narration by Joel Leffert, this story is an excellent yarn, with an old-time feel and strong western flavors.
