A man in a wheat field with only a pair of whitey tighties on and a cell phone. Only thing is he doesn’t know how he got there and who he is. In The Field, we get that along with a coked out Bible salesman and a biker gang looking for the mystery man.
First thing I said when I saw the cover of The Field #1 was, “Is that Commissioner Gordon?” Boy was I wrong. The Image press release sums it up quite nicely:
A man wakes in a field wearing nothing but his underwear. He’s got no idea who he is or how he got there. His only connection to the outside world a cell phone on which he receives mysterious texts warning him of impending danger. Danger like Christian, an ex-bible sales-man in the middle of a crime spree fueled by Christian Rock, dirty sex, meth and murder.I sure wasn’t expecting what I saw in this book. One second we were having a conversation at a diner. A minute later, BLAM! All I could think of was Ron Burgundy saying, “Boy, that escalated quickly.” All at the same time we got a biker gang looking for this man. We do get a glimpse of a flashback sequence in this book so there are some hopes to him figuring out who he is. The question is, who is on the other end of the phone that he found? I guess we will need to continue reading.
