The Texas Run

V #11

by George W. Proctor

Barely escaping death from a Visitor ambush, resistance warrior Rick Hurley is rescued by Sheryl Lee Darcy and a band of Texas freedom fighters carrying vital drugs to the sick and wounded of their native state -- where the red dust toxin, once fatal to the lizard-like aliens, has lost its effect. The Visitors have placed a stranglehold on the Dallas-Fort Worth area, rounding up the terrified populace for cold storage aboard the Mother Ship. There the Texas resistance strike-and-hide guerrilla raids, aimed at the Visitors' processing centers, keep the inhuman enemy in confusion and disarray.

But when Sheryl Lee is taken prisoner, it's Rick who plans a daring rescue, with the help of wild-man rancher Charlie Scoggins, striking at the heart of the enemy stronghold, across hundreds of miles of lizard-held terrain, at the deadly, desperate end.

Set after the TV episode "Visitor's Choice".

[Kerry · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not the main cast (except a cameo) and all new, set in Texas for the first time. The early appearance of old flying machines (particularly the Mustang) is cool, and the story is decent.

Not bad. Last one in my possession.
