The success of the retooled Mexican Revolution hinges on executing the largest vanishing act the world's ever seen, right under General Obregón's nose. Pancho Villa's latest General isn't like any of the others. Young, inexperienced and visionary, Chancho Villarreal convinces Villa to cease his famous frontal assaults and embrace guerrilla warfare.

To prove his strategy sound, Chancho must execute the boldest train robbery the world will never discover, unless he fails. But revolution never comes cheap, and Chancho is about to awaken to its deadly cost.

This pulpy western thriller follows in the footsteps of Wild, Wild, West and other such fantastical western adventures. As the second episode of The Lost DMB Files, this short novella reveals the origin story of one of the main characters of David Mark Browns controversial tales of an alternate history some say is more real than our own. Meet Chancho "Del Rio" Villarreal, the Dreamer.
