Synopsis
When Evvie North's husband Ted suggests they go to Panama to buy a boat and cruise the Caribbean, she agrees--anything to bury her grief, anything to forget that she had a young daughter who died in a tragic random accident.
Shipwrecked off Panama's coast, Evvie finds herself on an island inhabited by gentle Cuna Indians, but controlled by the henchmen of one of the world's most brutal drug lords--Spider. Degraded and abused, Evvie slowly loses her grip on hope, and her descent into hell becomes complete when she realizes that she's been sacrificed as the ultimate victim.
But when Evvie changes the rules of the game, no one--not her husband, not the DEA, not even Spider--can stop her.
Spider Snatch spins a web of betrayal and intrigue in trademark Branon style. All of the elements that made his first two novels, Let Us Prey and Devils Hole, classics within the action-adventure genre are present here, including the re-emergence of Branon's indelible dark hero, Arthur Arthur.

About the Author
Like the protagonists in his newest high-voltage thriller, Bill Branon sank his sailboat off the coast of Panama. Ship wrecked on an island inhabited by Cuna Indians. Branon lived many of the adventures portrayed in Spider Snatch, and he uses those real life experiences to spin a chilling story of betrayal, vengeance, and sacrifice.
A Harvard graduate, Branon spent 23 years in the military, including a stint in Naval Intelligence. He's widely known for his two action novels, Devil's Hole, a bestseller for Harper Collins, and Let Us Prey, a New York Times "Notable Book of the Year."

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. First edition stated. Branon's most accomplished novel -- his most thorough exploration to date of his recurring theme of the dissociative personality -- never received the reception it deserved, when scheduled Christmas-season reviews in the trades were pulled after the small Las Vegas publishing house failed to issue the book in late 1999 as planned. The retired 23-year naval officer, author of the IRS novel "Let Us Prey," based the tale of Evvie North on his own experiences being shipwrecked among the Cuna Indians on a primitive island off the coast of Panama. Evvie is forced to call up reserves of strength and courage she didn't know she had after she finds herself stranded on an island dominated by a menacing local drug lord. Many consider this Branon's most carefully woven tale, and Evvie North his best drawn, most sympathetic protagonist. Readers report literally finishing the book and immediately reading it again. From the author of "Let Us Prey," "Devil's Hole," and "Timesong." We acquired this copy new from the publisher. Reduced from $19. Seller Inventory # 000057

"Spider Snatch is Branon's most accomplished novel -- his most thorough exploration to date of his recurring theme of the dissociative personality -- never received the reception it deserved, when scheduled Christmas-season reviews in the trades were pulled after the small Las Vegas publishing house failed to issue the book in late 1999 as planned.

AS FOR OUR SECOND OFFERING: Positioned in the doorway between science and religion, "Timesong" is a change of pace for this action writer -- the inspirational tale of a three-legged coyote who befriends an autistic runaway child. This book was written for Branon's 87-year-old mother as she battled the cancer that eventually took her life. "There are things a parent deserves to hear from a child other than 'Good-bye,' " the author says."Old New England Yankees like myself have a hard time saying 'I love you.' Timesong is my try." The ISBN of Timesong is 0-929712-54-4. These copies acquired new from the publisher. Two novels by Captain Bill Branon for one price, here reduced from $17. Seller Inventory # 010192
