Nameless confronts own mortality as possible lung cancer & is buried in mine by killer. In Blowback, Nameless has finally gone to see a doctor and found out that he has a lesion on one of his lungs. Within a few days, a test will reveal whether the lesion is malignant or not. Nameless is extremely anxious and depressed at the same time. While waiting to hear, Nameless receives a call from an old friend from the service, Harry Burroughs. Harry's having trouble at his fishing camp, and wants Nameless to help out. Nameless agrees to come . . . but cannot promise for how long. Traveling high into the Sierras into the Gold Rush country, Nameless finds an emotional tinder box. The fishing camp is filled with men, except for the flirtatious Angela Jerrold. Ms. Jerrold has every man in camp dreaming of being with her, which enrages her husband to the limits of his emotional strength. Something's bound to give in such a situation . . . but the precipitating event comes from left field and seems unconnected with the Jerrolds and the camp.

He's just gotten some bad news, and its impact has made him immobile and fearful. He's always known that the racking cough was not just something that was going to go away, that the ache in his chest was indicative of something more serious. And now he's found out that he has a lesion on his lung which could be malignant. He's set to sit and wait and do nothing else until he gets the results, but is swayed into action by a call from an old buddy of his from the service, Harry Burroughs.Harry has an isolated fishing camp in Northern California. Currently, he has several people in residence. Recent events have convinced him that the place is a powderkeg waiting to erupt into violence. Therefore, the call to Nameless. What Nameless finds on his arrival is a simmering situation, mostly caused by the presence of a very erotic woman by the name of Angela who is there with her extremely jealous husband, Ray, who is even more combustible because he's a heavy drinker. Angela is a woman who plays sweet but gets deep underneath a man's skin and is nowhere near as innocent as she would have folks believe.And then the murders start. The first doesn't seem to have anything to do with the situation when a rug dealer is killed in his van. But then the inhabitants of the camp become targets, including Nameless. He faces more than the usual share of danger as he is entombed in a cave. The book has a little bit of everything-sexual intrigue, theft, murder, violence-all leavened by Nameless searching for the truth in a high tension environment.
