You can’t be
serious! A sexy novel about conservation biology?
The
Lobo Outback Funeral Home
A
Novel
By Dave Foreman
Foreword by Doug Peacock
 In this hard-hitting, action-packed
eco-thriller, Dave Foreman writes about commitment, or, rather,
about the consequences of shirking commitment. Jack Hunter,
disillusioned and burned-out on conservation activism after years
as a Sierra Club lobbyist, leaves Washington, D.C., for his
family’s cabin in southwestern New Mexico’s Diablo National
Forest, convinced there is nothing he or anyone else can do to
stop humankind’s war on Nature. Nevertheless, he finds himself
falling for Dr. MaryAnne McClellan, a conservation biologist who
is as accomplished and tough as she is beautiful. The leader of
the Diablo Wilderness Committee, she tries to draw Hunter into the
campaign to protect the area from Forest Service logging plans,
and she also wants to involve him in the closely held secret that
a pack of lobos—Mexican wolves—has surprisingly appeared deep in
the back country. Refusing to commit to either MaryAnne or the
lobos, despite the very real threats to both, Hunter is soon
caught up in the bloody consequences of his cynicism, discovering
the true cost of not taking a stand for what he loves.
“What Foreman also brings to this juicy
sprawl of a novel is an abundance of raw autobiographical musing,
testosterone and detailed accounting of the daily workings of the
conservation movement….the shop-talk in Lobo is, among
other things, an historical contribution, a valuable menu of what
it was like to plan and strategize, of how went the mundane world
of the preservation world. Where else is this sort of daily
detail recorded?”—Doug Peacock from the “Foreword.”
WARNING: For mature audiences only. Attorney
General John Ashcroft has determined that the racy sexual
situations and graphic violence in Lobo will undermine the
norms of proper society.
