About The Great Liquor War

Ex-Gold Miner Caught in Power Struggle in Exciting Western In the 1880s, gold miners flooded the West trying to make their fortune. A few actually made a living. Realizing that the life of a miner isn’t as rewarding or romantic as he expected, Hank James is ready to quit panning for gold in British Columbia and look for other opportunities. When he hears a prizefight will be fought in town, he attends, and with the help of the fight referee, wins big betting on the bout. At the urging of that same referee who is also a British Columbia Provincial Police constable, Hank takes his winnings and heads for a new job, hauling freight with pack horses for contractors building the transcontinental railroad. Having entered BC, those supplying security for railroad construction, the North West Mounted Police are now at odds with the local authority, the BC Provincial Police As two opposing factions of the police fight for control of the project, including sales of liquor, Hank tries to steer clear of their turf war. While the police are fighting their own battles, no one is looking for the real crooks, particularly those stealing Hank’s horses. Does he need to take the law into his own hands? This action-packed Western really delivers. “I’ve never had so much fun reading history” ….. T. Morden “The Great Liquor War is a wake-up call for the senses. Forget trying to live in the moment … you’’ be there.” ….. G. Wandling
