Solitario—The Lonely One
The second in a series featuring Robbie Ducharme, Solitario (Atmosphere Press) finds the river guide facing a flooded Rio Grande, too dangerous for his latest clients to navigate. Instead, he opts to lead them down a remote desert arroyo that has come to life in the heavy rains. The landscape they enter, the people they encounter, and the relics they find give these modern-day explorers the thrill of a lifetime. They also threaten Robbie’s relationship with the woman he loves and the life of the assistant he admires.
In Solitario—The Lonely One, author John Manuel asks if we are right to be bold with our lives when the potential rewards are great, or whether we are venturing where we should never tread?
