A Pretty Face Can Hide an Evil Mind
Buffalo Soldier — Maurice Broaddus
Maurice Broaddus’ 2017 Buffalo Soldier is a steam-punk western. It will be published in April.
Desmond Coke and Lij Tafari appear to be father and son, just a pair of migrant workers making their way across the Tejas Free Republic in search of employment. Jamaica and Albion’s agents know the truth: Lij is a treasure their master are determined to possess and Desmond is an impediment to be removed.
