How does a small town young man turn into an international arms smuggler? He simply gets involved with his eccentric Uncle Herbert! Uncle Herbert: Time is Running Out is book two of the Sand Mountain Tales by Philip C. Elrod and details the steps Herbert Campbell takes to manipulate his young nephew into carrying out a dangerous secret plan. Thought to be crazy by everyone in town, including the rest of the Campbell family, Herbert has managed to amass a fortune and pays for Andrew to go to college and graduate school. Herbert then makes Andrew his sole heir and gives him his Power of Attorney, but there is just one provision; Andrew has to find a nuclear device to blow up and destroy Herbert’s laboratory.
With the help of Herbert’s longtime attorney, Cosmo Underwood, Andrew and a whole cast of interesting characters do what it takes to secure such a device and save the world from what they believe will be total destruction.
