The Brotherhood of the Wheel
Summary
R. S. Belcher, the acclaimed author of The Six-Gun Tarot and The Shotgun Arcana, launches a gritty new urban fantasy series about the mysterious society of truckers known only as The Brotherhood of the Wheel. In AD 1119, a group of nine crusaders became known as the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon - a militant monastic order charged with protecting pilgrims and caravans traveling on the roads to and from the Holy Land. In time, the Knights Templar would grow in power and, ultimately, be laid low. But a small offshoot of the Templars endure and have returned to the order's original mission: to defend the roads of the world and guard those who travel on them. Theirs is a secret line of knights: truckers, bikers, taxi hacks, state troopers, bus drivers, RV gypsies - any of the folks who live and work on the asphalt arteries of America. They call themselves the Brotherhood of the Wheel. Jimmy Aussapile is one such knight. He's driving a big rig down South when a promise to a ghostly hitchhiker sets him on a quest to find out the terrible truth behind a string of children gone missing all across the country. The road leads him to Lovina Hewitt, a skeptical Louisiana State Police investigator working the same case and, eventually, to a forgotten town that's not on any map - and to the secret behind the eerie Black-Eyed Kids said to prowl the highways.

The Six-Gun Tarot
Summary
The Six-Gun Tarot is the first audiobook in the twisted weird west world of the Golgotha series by R.S. Belcher. Nevada, 1869: Beyond the pitiless 40-Mile Desert lies Golgotha, a cattle town that hides more than its share of unnatural secrets. The sheriff bears the mark of the noose around his neck; some say he is a dead man whose time has not yet come. His half-human deputy is kin to coyotes. The mayor guards a hoard of mythical treasures. A banker's wife belongs to a secret order of assassins. And a shady saloon owner, whose fingers are in everyone's business, may know more about the town's true origins than he's letting on. A haven for the blessed and the damned, Golgotha has known many strange events, but nothing like the primordial darkness stirring in the abandoned silver mine overlooking the town. Bleeding midnight, an ancient evil is spilling into the world, and unless the sheriff and his posse can saddle up in time, Golgotha will have seen its last dawn...and so will all of Creation. R.S. Belcher's The Six-Gun Tarot is "an astonishing blend of first-rate steampunk fantasy and Western adventure." (Library Journal, starred review) Other books by R.S.

King of the Road
Summary
Set in R.S. Belcher's urban fantasy Nightwise universe, the Brotherhood of the Wheel returns to explore the haunted byways and truck stops of the US Interstate Highway System in King of the Road. Jimmie Aussapile, Lovina Marcou, and Heck Sinclair are members of a secret society dedicated to protecting those who travel America's highways from the monsters, both supernatural and mundane, that lurk in the darkness just beyond your headlights. They are the Brotherhood of the Wheel. At home in Lenoir, North Carolina, Jimmie and his squire Heck find themselves drawn into an all-out war between two competing biker gangs. One is led by a rival biker in possession of new found supernatural allies, and the other is an all-female werewolf pack. Meanwhile, Lovina is drawn into a missing-person case that leads to a Pennsylvania trailer park seemingly haunted by killer clowns. One way or another, peace must be maintained, and the many roads of America must be protected. But it might just cost the Brotherhood their souls if they aren't careful.

The Queen's Road
Summary
Ramon “Ray” Cosa’s life is not what he expected it to be. Living in a small Texas town ravaged by Hurricane Harvey, Ray has suffered many losses in his young life, and he has little hope left that anything will ever change or get better. That is, until the vintage Ford Galaxie and its strange, dying owner enters Ray’s life. Given a jeweled ring he cannot remove and a desperate mission, Ray is plunged into a universe of secrets, wonders, and terrors he never dreamed exists. Now, he travels the Queen's Road - a hyper-space highway that connects all the planets and galaxies in creation - in search of one man, one of the Queen of the Universe's Rangers. That journey will put Ray on the front lines of an eons-old cosmic war between the primal forces of order and chaos. And probably make him late for his next shift at the Chug-n-Lug.

The Ghost Dance Judgement (1 of 2) [Dramatized Adaptation]
Summary
Nevada, 1872. Out of the merciless 40-mile desert, a stranger appears in the town of Golgotha, home to the blessed and the damned. He carries with him an innocent victim of a horrible massacre and a dire warning for Sheriff Jon Highfather. The conflict between the Indian nations and Mormon settlers has been brewing for years, and now the spirits of the fallen Indian dead have begun to rise to join in the fight. Deputy Mutt's old nemesis, Snake-Man, returns to begin a final bloody war against the whites, purging them from the land forever. An insane US general with his own genocidal agenda sees the coming conflict as a perfect solution to the “Indian problem", and, as is often the case, the people of Golgotha find themselves caught in the middle. Mayor Harry Pratt's leadership of the town is challenged, and he is threatened with the revelation of his greatest secrets, and with a betrayal that could utterly destroy him. The hungry antediluvian terror imprisoned under the Argent Mine seeks release to devour the world through the most innocent of souls - Auggie Shultz and his wife, Gillian's, newborn. Not only is the fate of an innocent soul at stake, but the fate of all life. Performed by Eric Messner, Scott McCormick, Jacob Yeh, Kimberly Gilbert, Dave Jourdan, Evan Casey, Dani Stoller, Michael Gets, Rebecca Sheir, Joe Mallon, Zeke Alton, Andy Clemence, Chris Stinson, James Konicek, Lise Bruneau, Nanette Savard, Richard Rohan, Rob MacFadyen, Steven Carpenter, Tony Nam, Bill Gillett, Joel David Santner, Laura Harris, Matthew Pauli, Rana Kay, Terence Aselford, Yasmin Tuazon, Carolyn Kashner, John Kielty, Matt Bassett, Michael John Casey, Rose Supan, Shanta Parasuraman, Colleen Delany, Ken Jackson, Matt Schleigh, Nora Achrati, Nazia Chaudry, Bradley Smith, and Karen Novack.

The Shotgun Arcana (1 of 2) [Dramatized Adaptation]
Summary
R. S. Belcher's debut novel, The Six-Gun Tarot, was enthusiastically greeted by critics and listeners, who praised its wildly inventive mixture of dark fantasy, steampunk, and the Wild West. Now Belcher returns to Golgotha, Nevada, a bustling frontier town that hides more than its fair share of unnatural secrets. 1870. A haven for the blessed and the damned, including a fallen angel, a mad scientist, a pirate queen, and a deputy who is kin to coyotes, Golgotha has come through many nightmarish trials, but now an army of 32 outlaws, lunatics, serial killers, and cannibals are converging on the town, drawn by a grisly relic that dates back to the Donner Party...and the dawn of humanity. Sheriff Jon Highfather and his deputies already have their hands full dealing with train robbers, a mysterious series of brutal murders, and the usual outbreaks of weirdness. But with 32 of the most vicious killers on Earth riding into Golgotha in just a few day's time, the town and its people will be tested as never before - and some of them will never be the same. The Shotgun Arcana is even more spectacularly ambitious and imaginative than The Six-Gun Tarot, and confirms R. S. Belcher's status as a rising star. Performed by Dylan Lynch, Scott McCormick, Tim Getman, Eric Messner, David Jourdan, Jacob Yeh, Rebecca Sheir, Yasmin Tuazon, Casie Platt, Kimberly Gilbert, Terence Aselford, Gregory Linington, Chris Scheeren, Evan Casey, Nora Achrati, Thomas Penny, Nanna Ingvarsson, Steven Carpenter, Jonathan Feuer, Jefferson A Russell, Eric Singdahlsen, J W Rone, Colleen Delany, David Harris, Ren Kasey, Scott Graham, James Konicek, Matthew Keenan, Nanette Savard, Richard Rohan, Matthew Bassett, Andy Clemence, Andy Brownstein, Bradley Smith, Amanda Forstrom, Steve Wannall, Christopher Graybill, Matthew McGee, Nick DePinto, Dani Stoller, Michael Glenn, Laura C Harris, Chris Davenport, Joe Brack, Christopher Walker.
