THE LEGEND OF UNCERTAIN TEXAS

When Bill Mackie, an active Army captain is assigned to tear down an old abandoned Army base in the swampland of Uncertain, Texas, we don’t realize at the time that he grew up there. In the late 1960s Bill’s father worked for the Army when Bill was only 12 years old. His assignment with the Army was to come up with a Chemical that would make a soldier a killing machine. When he was asked to change the chemical so that it would speed up the process, everything went bad. The volunteer men were killing each other. The project was scrapped. The day that they were dumping the chemicals in the river to get rid of them, Bill’s younger sister Amber fell off the dock and swallowed a bunch of water. Not long after that, Amber took an ax and killed her father. With the help of a friend, Bill took his mother and sister deeper into the swamps to hide them. The friend cared for them while Bill went off to military school. Till this day in the summer of 2001 Bill has never returned, because of being afraid of what he might find.

No one in town recognizes Bill, except the beautiful librarian, who thinks he looks like a boy she went to school with.

Bill learns from the local sheriff that Uncertain does have a legend. A legend that there are more people missing per capita in that small town than any state in the USA. Amber has been on a killing spree for 30 years. The old friend that helped the family years ago does recognize Bill and persuades him to go into the swamps and search for Amber and kill her. The whole ordeal plays with Bill’s emotions. He eventually gets some comfort from the librarian who in time figures out who he is.

There is a lot of emotion, action, suspense, romance, and plenty of killings. Everything turns out for the best in the end, but we do discover that Amber had a baby!!!!!!
