Synopsis

In this action-packed character novel, Sasquatch is not the mythical creature rumored to haunt the forests of North America. He is a young Texan named Clint Buchanan (pronounced “Buck Hannon”) who prowls the streets of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex in the late-1970s. Clint seems to have it all--herculean size and strength, polymathic intelligence, shy yet magnetic personality, manly good looks, and the charm to seduce any woman he wants. Barely a man but already the size of Jimmy Dean’s “Big Bad John,” the similarities do not end there. Trouble seems to follow Clint, and a combination of bad choices, bad timing, and bad luck has tragic results. One reviewer has said that “The Legend of Sasquatch is a great study of the human psyche and all its complexities--morality, justice, passion, friendship, violence, and love.” Another said that “Prince takes the reader on a surprisingly engrossing journey through the depths of the human psyche. . . . [He] paints a vivid picture of the complex task of simply finding one’s own place in the world, regardless of our mental, physical, or emotional status, and as a result, his well-crafted tale is one to which readers of all ages and backgrounds are sure to relate.” Find out for yourself. Join this behemoth as he faces the life-changing and character-defining events of his late adolescence with a colorful supporting cast that includes his girlfriend Dani and devoted buddies Milton, Tom, and Hulk.
