Shepherds of Terror: a Novel Dl Rose

"La Guardia, who seemed less formidable with sweat saturating their once-starched shirts, piled boxes, guns, ammunition, and grenades in the yard. The butt of a machine gun slammed between Luís' shoulder blades and he stumbled down the porch steps, trying to keep from falling. As soon as he was steady, the butt hit him again, pushing him forward across the yard. Luís would have willingly gone to wherever they wanted but he couldn't tell which truck to head for. Over and over, he was hit in the exact same place until the last slam to his back bent him over the front of a jeep and Luís screamed as the side of his face sizzled on the sun-scorched, engine-heated hood...." Passion, terror, poetry and the fierce urgency of a people held down too long ... it all comes alive in this debut novel by DL Rose. Shepherds Of Terror takes place in the homeland of the Basque people of Spain. It follows the lives and actions of Basque terrorist ETA members and innocent folks who are affected by the daily barrage of violence. More than just a story of terrorist acts, Shepherds Of Terror is also a character study of the people fighting for their Basque autonomy from the Spanish government and, also, the Basque people as a whole. After years of research for the Shepherds Of Terror, DL Rose now resides in Montana enjoying a quiet life and the spectacular outdoors, where rafting the many rivers has become a favorite pastime.
