Hands of Thunder

An angry mob burned his home, shot his dog, killed his father and his mother and sisters were captured Indians. To honor his father's dying request 14 yr. old Ty Harden must rescue his family from the Indians, avoid the cavalry, single handedly take on the gang that killed his father and take the family west... without ever killing anyone.

Writer Statement

Every great western, the good guy has an equalizer. "Silverado" Danny Glover had a "Henry Rifle." Quigley had a "Sharp's 45-110." 13yr. old Ty Harden has "2 Lemat Revolvers." A Lemat is a black powder handgun that shoots 9, 44 caliber slugs and a 16 gauge shotgun. Sometimes black powder guns work just fine. Sometimes not. There are some fantastically fun moments when the gun does and DOES NOT work.
