Kids of The Greatest Generation

THERE IS A GENERATION by WH Buzzard is the first in a four book series satirizing Baby Boomers, the 1950's offspring of the Greatest Generation who grew into the 1960s rebels that changed America forever. Best friends Tim and Hect happen upon an abandoned auto junkyard and switch from jackrabbit hunting to a game of War with their semi-automatic .22 caliber rifles. The fun abruptly ends as a boyish prank goes badly awry. They decide to set fire to a pillbox bunker, actually an old deserted shack, and burn the enemy out. The boys fashion a Molotov cocktail from gas out of a wrecked truck and heave the bomb at the structure. The dry sun-baked wood bursts into flames faster than a pile of tumbleweeds. To their utter horror a fire-engulfed figure appears in a window of the mini-inferno. Believing they just burned alive a hobo using the place for a shelter and fearing they will end up on a hot-seat called "Sparky," the popular nickname for the electric chair at Huntsville prison, the two flee into the desert. Now fugitives from the law they must leave behind their self-centered lives of ease and carefree devilment. Neither could be less prepared to suffer hunger and thirst, merciless desert heat and life on the road, not to mention encountering con artists, wily street people, and never before imagined poverty and slums, plus the mean streets of Juarez, Mexico. Thus begin a series of adventures, or perhaps misadventures is a better term, through West Texas, New Mexico, and finally into Mexico itself where they are shanghaied into a training facility for anarchists called The Camp. Oh, my, what are those two into next? For more information go to our ThereIsAGeneration website.
