Dying Breed – Mike Davis

Buy A Book

Dying Breed is a sweeping, deeply human adventure about legacy, wilderness, and the fading line between myth and memory. In this fifth instalment of the Medford Haley saga — and the first of the Max the Bigfoot Trilogy — Davis fuses road fiction, environmental reflection, and indigenous spirituality into a vividly cinematic tale.

When aging surfer, craftsman, and reluctant hero Medford Haley is pulled back from his peaceful life in Noosa, Australia, to the deserts of the American Southwest, he expects to help his eccentric mother refurbish a derelict roadhouse on the ghostly remains of Route 66. Instead, he stumbles into an odyssey of self-reckoning that connects his family’s fading frontier spirit with the mysterious, vanishing tribes of both man and nature.

In the scorched Mojave, Medford encounters a figure who seems half legend, half living truth — a towering presence linked to the old Lakota and to a secret lineage of beings who walk quietly among men: the “Dying Breed.” As the desert reveals its buried past, Medford must face not only his mother’s indomitable will and his own mortality, but the haunting question of what it truly means to be human — and what survives when the last of us is gone.

Rich with Davis’s trademark humor, native wisdom, and surf-soaked philosophy, Dying Breed is an elegy for lost worlds — both personal and primeval. It stands as a bridge between myth and modernity, a testament to endurance, and a hymn to the earth’s oldest spirits who still walk unseen through the dust of progress.
