Book Description

--You know you’re lonely when your best friend is a rock--

A genre-crossing, action-adventure, survival story of the Old West.

Orphaned at thirteen, Rhone lives a solitary life on the old homestead, doing what needs doing but not much more. But his life changes when he finds a pretty rock in the shallow river near his home. When it begins to talk to him, nothing will ever be the same.

The stone-like crystalline entity is eons old with tons of data stored in its crystalline matrix, but even with that knowledge, it takes time to learn the difference between knowing by thinking, and knowing by doing. Two different things entirely.

When the local commissioner sends his men to find, buy, or steal what he considers is an artifact of power, Rhone and Stone head to the badlands, a place named for a very good reason. When a chance encounter surprises them both, Stone is taken, and Rhone is left for dead. It's only the assistance of the OPR that ends the heavy-handed ways of the commissioner and unknowingly helps Rhone to free Stone and begin the next phase of his life, a chance to join the OPR.
