He's no hero, but he's stumbled upon someone who is: John Wayne. But the John Wayne of this story is not the stalwart lawman of Hollywood films--he's a seventy-two-year-old man who had himself cryogenically frozen. He's weak, bald, frail...and unrecognizable to everyone but Sam. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn The Duke's \"defrosted\" state, he's not entirely himself. In fact, he believes he's actually Ethan Edwards, the character he played in \u003ci\u003eThe Searchers\u003c\/i\u003e, one of Wayne's most beloved films. Ethan or Duke or Marion Morrison, at his side Sam learns how to be a man, and a hero--and a pretty good shot! As he takes on the Old West gang of thugs, he finds that he might have become a family man at last. But back in the real world, someone has his eye on Sam's wife, and if Sam doesn't get back soon, the results could be devastating.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gallery Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439171561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.30w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Times\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2011 pg. 81 - Very Good\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/07\/2011\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ryan Brown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42907704230069,"sku":"9781439171561","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_3237666e-7c71-45ad-b108-9ff1a5bfe50b.jpg?v=1686667176","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/thawed-out-and-fed-up-9781439171561","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
