“In the Lair of Legends will take you on a relentless ride. The pace is literally breakneck, and the action of this horror/thriller will slap you from one side to the other before you can reset your bearings.” — J.L. Engel, author of A DANGEROUS MAN
” ‘In The Lair of Legends’ is a brilliant first novel by the writer David Buzan. It is a historical novel set in the Northwest Territories of the post-civil war America. It’s main character, a Native American Union war hero named Jolon Winterhawk is as resourceful as heroes come, and his fortitude is buttressed by unwavering his love for his wife and daughter. The writer creates a clever story line that pits Winterhawk up against the worst of mankind, as well as the most brutal of fantastical creatures. It is non-stop action carefully unfolded over the length of this novel. With this genre of novel, the devil is in the details and David Buzan masterfully brings all of those details to bear in creating one hell of a novel. He’s also left enough of a thread to support a sequel should he so desire. Congrats David, you’ve written a winner. — Tom McCaffrey bestselling author of ‘The Claire Trilogy.’
“Set in post-Civil War America, In the Lair of Legends is a well-crafted
adventure thriller that delivers on every front. The protagonist,
Winterhawk, is a Native American, a cavalryman, and a war hero. The
villain, a horrific, man-eating monster. I was drawn into the story from the
first chapter. The characters are relatable and complex. The sometimes gruesome action scenes kept me on the edge of my seat! In the Lair of
Legends is a page-turner I couldn’t put down.”

“Buzan pulls the reader into a non-stop, action thriller from the very first
pages. Jolon Winterhawk’s secret mission to escort a rail shipment of gold
in 1873 Oregon is bursting with energy and brutal adventure. The story
takes the reader through an epic train ambush and life-and-death battles
with violent Army conspirators, all under the narrative dialog of a Native American warrior from this period. Simultaneously, Winterhawk wages war
with towering mythical beasts of the Northwest, and this deadly struggle is
both exhilarating and tragic. You won’t be able to put this book down.”
–Michael Fletcher, author of To Hunt a Holy Man
“In the Lair of Legends is a non-stop action-packed story, told mostly
through the point-of-view of Jolon Winterhawk, a Nez Perce warrior and
returning US Cavalry soldier, with one last mission before he can finally go
home. Everything that can go wrong does as he comes up against racism,
traitors, greed, and the gigantors of native legend. Nothing can stop
Winterhawk from fighting with every breath to return to his family and
their love.”
–Lena Gibson, author of The Edge of Life and The Wish

read!”
