A maverick son of the new West, Heller's a man you can turn to when your life's in danger...if you can get him off his butt.

But Heller's also a law school dropout with a head for justice that's that's as hard as the Colorado Rockies with a mile-wide stubborn streak. So he hires out to hopeless cases, hurtling into action when some big guy is putting the squeeze on a little guy - or gal. Whether he's tracking down a murderer, out hustling a high-tech con man, biking in the wilderness or falling for a lady's charms Heller fights hard and plays harder. Wise-talking, quick-thinking, with a body that can absorb and dish out a lot of that's the combination that's kept Heller alive. So far.

"Somebody's stealing something from me and I wanta hire you to stop it." It was the kind of problem only a buddy of Heller's seemed to get caught in. Some mystery men were stealing the most precious survival resource in the dry grass country: water. These were no ordinary thieves, however: these rain rustlers were taking the water right out of the skies with a secret cloud seeding operation that threatened to wipe out everybody in the San Luis Valley. At first Heller thought it was all a joke, but he stopped laughing when a club-wielding pachuco ambushed him and reduced his bike to scrap metal and his side to one ugly bruise. Now Heller's coming back with his jeep, his Smith & Wesson and the help of a loving lady pilot, ready to rain down a whole lot of trouble of his own.

IT WAS ONLY A GAME BUT HELLER'S STAKES WERE DISASTER AND DEATH. Beeps, blips, zonks, Heller was just a big boy from the high country and he was having a rough time understanding all the fuss over protecting the secret development of a hot new video game. Soon the challenge sweated down to a level Heller could savvy: deadly trouble. The game could pay off in a fabulous fortune for G&C Electronics in Colorado Springs' high-tech gulch and somebody was racing to steal the program and would destroy the company and anyone who got in the way. To save the game and his own hide, Heller would have to snap back with some fancy zapping of his own—fast.

They were young, most of them beautiful, and most had lost their innocence by fifteen...but they were still not ready to be turned out into the porn world of wild Reno. Roderus does it again with this can't put it down action adventure thriller.

It's cattle country, and not meant to be killing country. Coyotes, the human kind, are making it hell to survive, both those who have lived there, ranched there, raised families there; and those who are fighting to come north for a better life. The hell of it is, some of those are infiltrators, bringing dope, and, God knows, what else. Frank Roderus is a master of the thriller, and the Heller Series are can't-put-it-down novels. Don't miss the Heller Thirllers. Each a stand alone action adventure.

Heller's friend is looking forward to a million dollars, his prize quarter horse is the overwhelming favorite to win the Liquid Gold Futurity. But someone has other ideas, sinister ideas, and that's where Heller comes in. He agrees to protect the horse, for a fat fee and any willing women along the way. Heller is a novice at the track, but the mountain boy learns fast. And when the "accident" happens, he's ready to spring into action. If it involves taking on organized crime in the state of New Mexico, well, no one has ever accused Heller if taking the easy way out.
