TERMINAL ORIGINS (an unfiunished
paralogue of the chainsaga): The Sand Rose
Plantation was so expansive and its inhabitants so
numerous that it was its own county. Skinner,
otherwise known as AD Caulder, was its sheriff.
The natives were restless and he was determined to
keep their anger at bay, while the turmoil of civil
war swirled around the reality of the situation:
Due to the political considerations woven into the
strategy designed by outsiders, the plantation was
doomed. Skinner disliked that fact. He might have
taken out his frustration on the outsider who had
decided that the Sand Rose's time to fade away had
arrived, except that she was too pretty and
intriguing, and powerful, to contend with in any
arena other than a bed. As he becomes acquainted
with her, he also becomes swept up in the politics
of her family affairs. The result is more

adventures in the plantation's wide open spaces as
well as in some of its enclaves of civilization. Oh
yeah, there are a few battles to survive, too....
