From Amazon review: A Love Story of the Old West...
By Ken Pelham on October 3, 2018
Format: Kindle Edition
"...and it's a love story with a twist. One of the characters--and you won't know who for a while--is the series' interstellar watcher. That's a great angle, but the exceptional level of detail and use of language is what really makes this novella soar. You'll feel like you are indeed out on the dusty range with the remuda, driving the cattle across the great American West. Just a gem of good writing."

Eight award-winning and accomplished authors invite you to explore the depths of human experience alongside an ever-watching presence sent to Earth by an advanced alien intelligence.

"This story offers a reflective and mysterious twist on beloved characters from Moby Dick. Patt brings the classic back to life with an incredible match to the story's tone."

All ten stories! The Masters Reimagined 1 stories in one volume:

How the events of Treasure Island would unfold if the pirates flew spaceships instead? If Eveline were escaping Earth instead of Ireland? What an American free spirit like Holly Golightly from Breakfast At Tiffany's might encounter in her new life as a Brazilian wife? How Anna Karenina might have escaped her death? What the Count of Monto Cristo and Alice In Wonderland might be like together? If Jonah's whale had been a submarine? Why Ishmael never mentioned Mr. Bulkington again after the Pequod left Nantucket on the hunt for Moby Dick? Escape into these timeless tales that invite you to re-think everything you know about the classics, whether you've ever read them or not.

From review by psychofilly at Amazon:  "...the format of the book is about an outside observer, but this is Manteo's story through and through, and the author really shows the hope and heartbreak that underscore the choices he makes. She has a way with her descriptions that really pull you into the lush wild new world... From Bruce W.- Though at first it seems little more than a well-written historical account, you begin to realize the impact of the 'probe' on the others, and as has been stated, your appetite has only been partially sated. This is the hallmark of a gifted writer, one who bears watching." On the writing of Manteo.
