Dear Reader
Toboggan,
is the fourth book in the “Janitors Series,” following Baghdad Butcher, Back
To Iraq, and Dog Pound. Once again, Jim Scott and the Janitors are on
vacation, except for another cameo appearance, which is a continuation of their
mission in Dog Pound. In this book,
we have a return of Dan and Janet Orf, as well as their friend Mark Yomo. Dan and Janet investigate a plane crash in
the Rocky Mountains , while Mark attempts to
track down two criminals in the area of the crash.
In
this book, a number of the new characters introduced play roles in later books
of the series…with two becoming Janitors for one mission in the eighth book, Devil’s
Brew. Also, during the Janitor’s
appearance, the C-130 plane crew from Back To Iraq is fleshed out, and
most of them stay with the team from the sixth book, Saltwater Connection,
thru the ninth and final book of the series, Sedona Chip.
Dedication
To
Jeep…one helluva guy.
Forward
This
book is part survival story, part investigation, and with a bit of the
Janitors. The Orfs investigate on two
fronts, while a young, newly formed, couple fight the extremes of a late spring
blizzard in the Rockies . While that couple heads down the mountain,
they find themselves on a collision course with a pair of escaped criminals
headed up the same mountain in an effort to avoid re-capture by the
authorities.
While
all this is going on, the idiot author had to stop typing on several occasions
because laughter made it impossible to go on without a break. While not a comedy, I hope the readers find
those sections as funny as I did…though I’m sure the higher muckety-mucks in
Iran and the leadership of al-Qaida will find it less funny.
