Roswell Fanatics

"Man, this is one empty part of the county," said Deputy Pemberton as he turned the car off the narrow county road down the even much narrower gravel driveway leading to the Parker Ranch House. "Yeah, It's outside the aquifer that most of the county gets its water from. The wells have...

With the Evans-woman and Jeff Parker on their knees against the wall, with McCarthy there to cover them and with his arm around Liz Parker's throat, the situation seemed well in hand to Williams. The trick would be to think this through - set up the shots with the 12 gauge and the little 22 in such ...

It was a half hour later when Jeff saw Williams's pickup truck drive back down the driveway and he was relieved to see he'd brought someone with him. Maybe he was being alarmist and it was all just some freak accident, but the cutoff of communications had been sort of unnerving. He knew better than ...

They say that hindsight is 20/20, and it was sort of like that for Arthur Williams. As soon as he was out of sight of the ranch house he was on the walky-talky, ordering both Abernathy and McCarthy to meet him back at the end of the driveway to the Parker house.

No, Max wasn't unobserved as he'd crossed the football field to sneak in the back of the gymnasium. The young student who saw him was a freshman, and probably in the lower quartile when it came to assertiveness. He'd only been at West Roswell for a few weeks and it had been a big change for him – so...

He drove the patrol car south – without any real plan except to get separation from the Sheriff's office. You couldn't honestly say he calmed down even then – he was hovering just short of panic – not for himself but for her. But blind panic is never a good strategy and even Max knew that. There wer...

"Dr. Bernstein?" asked Liz. "What are you doing there at this hour?" "Well, the truth is I spent the night here working .... I sort of got fixated on a rather interesting problem. That problem is - well your testing actually." "Is there something wrong with the bab...

A lot of people who have never lived in the desert Southwest have no real conception of just how wide and how open the 'wide open spaces' of New Mexico really are. An irregular shaped mass of land that was somewhat more complicated than two large rectangles shoved together, Chaves County was as larg...
