Little Boy is the first book in the series Saga of a Comanche Warrior. In this series, Max Oliver has accomplished what few authors can, and that is the ability to immerse the reader within a culture that is completely foreign and allow the reader to feel at home. This series tells the story of a young Comanche who, being the smaller and weaker twin at birth, is able to use both his physical and mental acumen to achieve greatness. His adventures take him throughout 1800's Comancheria and into the Apache and Mexican lands as well. His few encounters with Europeans are rarely pleasant for either party. Oliver demonstrates that living off the land is both dangerous and exciting and takes great wisdom to be successful. Max Oliver was raised in Comanche Country. His grandmother was of the Comanche Tribe. He grew up in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas, reading and learning from the Native Americans living in those areas. Max says that there is always an inner part of him that loves the ways of the People. He is an avid reader of any work about the Native Americans. His writing is influenced by many conversations with, books about, and first-hand accounts of the ways of living and warring among those who lived on the land before they were forced onto reservations by the European newcomers.

Chief Red Nose, Saga of a Comanche Warrior, Book Five

<p>When they had drilled three wells and the rig had been moved as many times, the tool pusher talked to the foreman of each crew. He told them that the company was shipping another jackknife rig to West Texas and that they needed experienced hands to go there and show the others how to rig it up. Bud volunteered, as did Gordon and three other men. The oilfield wives had long ago ceased asking why. When their husbands came home and said, 'We're moving,' they just started packing. In fact, they never really unpacked completely. They had learned to unpack as they needed items but not unpack everything. It was definite that they would move again, just not when or where. The life of the roughneck is not for the faint of heart. Moving frequently, heavy machinery, excessive drinking, and exhausted coworkers are just a few of the numerous occupational hazards of the oilfield roughneck. Despite these dangers, the oil industry boomed, and its workers risked the dangers in search of a better life. One such worker was Bud Oliver. A mechanic by trade, Bud becomes a roughneck to support his family. They soon find themselves in the vicious cycle of following the oil wells, never having a place to call home or a place where they feel welcome. Will Bud achieve the American Dream? Can he avoid the pitfalls of such hazardous work? Will he and his family find a home? Find out in Next Boom by Max Oliver!</p>
