Vol 01- The Beginning

A dry breeze blew through the mouth of the cave, emitting a terrifying hollow moan of anguish. Standing at the entrance of the cave was a tall, handsome, muscular man with his hands on his hips. He surveyed his surroundings coolly and bravely and flashed the quivering man beside him a quick smile, for he was a man of many great grins and was always more than happy to bestow them on other people in need.

The guide by his side shuddered and pointed a trembling finger at the cave. “In there lies the treasure,” he said in a foreign language that only the man could understand, for he was a very intelligent man and had studied much in the subject of tongues and archaeology.  He bowed his head in thanks and tipped his well-shaped fedora at the man, then paid him. The guide scuttled off, hoisting himself onto his camels (in a way that wasn’t half as graceful as the man at the cave could have done it) and galloped off across the sands of the Mexican desert.

The man at the cave watched as he left and grinned wryly to himself. Being a man of much bravery, he had never known fear. No, not Utah Smith!! Utah Smith! laughed in the face of fear!  Utah Smith! ate fear for breakfast! He took the gun out of the holster in his belt and expertly twirled it in his hands before replacing it.

With nothing more than a handful of dry bark, Utah Smith! strode into the cave! What was to await him there? Nobody knew, but Utah Smith!! Would Utah Smith!, in his brave endeavours, make it out of the cave alive? Would he come out with his prize?

The world waits with bated breath, to find out the fate of Utah Smith!! in the upcoming volume: Utah Smith! Vol. 2: The Cave of Wonders!!
