"Born in the liner notes of their #1 hit albums, the alter egos of country legends Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn spring to life in their debut novel. When they met, it was like a head-on collision, though with a lot less blood and glass and hissing radiator steam. It wasn't the sort of thing one could insure against, probably wasn't the sort of thing you'd want to. Like trying to keep life from happening to you. Somewhere between impossible and a bad idea to begin with. It all starts with a chance meeting on a used car lot in Beaumont, Texas, neither man realizing this is a turning point for both. Before they know it, the two cowboys are sharing a beat-up truck, a life on the road, and a dream of making it in the music business. But Slim and Howdy are the Odd Couple of east Texas - and all points west for that mater. Tall and inscrutable behind his shades, Slim is taciturn, cautious, and keeps everybody at a distance. Howdy's got a wild side about a country mile wide. He talks too much, drives too fast, and lays bets where he shouldn't. Slim's a pragmatist with a taste for fine tequila. Howdy's an idealist, searching for the perfect margarita. So at least they have that in common. But before they can hit the road in search of fame and fortune, Slim's got some unseemly business to take care of involving a stolen guitar. A shot is fired. A major appliance is wounded. The cops are called. Toss into the fray a couple of gals short on scruples and long on rap sheets - and that's when the fun begins. The fates take them across Texas, drawing trouble like a magnet every step of the way. From a shootout to a crooked back-room poker game, Slim and Howdy move through the pages like a dangerous pair of cowboy gangsters, guitar cases in hand. And when an old friend gets kidnapped, the two have no choice but to set aside their differences and join forces. Faced with a dangerous list of suspects, from a deranged reptile retailer to Mexican narco-terrorists, Slim and Howdy wade into the fires of adversity, only to emerge as unlikely friends." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Trade paperback. Condición: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. [1], iii, 296, [18] pages. Illustrations. Signed by Braucht on the title page. Previous owner's mailing label inside the front cover. Abandoned by his parents when he was almost five, John Braucht was placed in an orphanage and adopted by a family, whose high morals became the cornerstone shaping his life. At age 19, feeling the strong call of patriotism, he joined the United States Army. At age 24, John earned his wings and became a pilot in the Army air Corps. He was sent to England to destroy Nazi weapons transportation in Germany. While flying back from a dangerous mission, he was attacked by three Nazi war plants. He valiantly defeated two attackers, but was shot down over the English Channel by the third. Rescued from treacherous waters by the British, John an American pilot, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross by Britain's Royal Air Force. Johns life was spared for a purpose. Part of this purpose was for him to share his intriguing saga of how tragic beginnings can have heroic endings. Fascinating snapshot in time from 1922 to 2000, covering major and minor events of most of the Twentieth Century, social conditions, and--of course--service in World War II. Linda L.
