Bad News: The novel took ages to get up and running, and when it did, it just dragged. The first “real” plot point was at 34% of the book! I had to read a lot about the landscape and cattle drives to get to something interesting!

Good news: The fear of indian attack on Rachel Zachary’s home and family jolted me awake!
The author’s imagination takes the reader in the middle of a horrfic “battle to the death” between Rachel and her brother Andy against the Kiowas warriors. I must admit it was a white-knuckle read!

Personal: The story did get better. I read this for a reading challenge…otherwise I don’t think I would have pulled this book off the shelf. But it is always good to get out of one’s comfort zone.
Book for…Western Pioneer Adventure buffs!
