A Long Way from Virginia

By M.J. Hayes

He thought he knew who his enemies were.... It has been five years since the bloody War Between the States took everything from Obadiah Gentry--his country, his home, his family, even his health. All that remains for him is pain, pain that his suffering mind has channeled into a burning hate. It is a hate for the one man whom he holds responsible for all that he has lost, a man whom he once looked upon as a brother, but has now vowed to destroy. On his long quest for retribution he will be joined by two companions: a former Confederate from his days as an officer with the 1st Virginia Cavalry--a man whose love and loyalty, although resisted, will remain unwavering--and an addiction to laudanum. Join Obadiah as he follows his trail of vengeance from the once bucolic countryside of the Shenandoah Valley, to the wind-swept plains of West Texas where along the way he is forced to battle outlaws, hostile Comanches, corrupt lawmen, and the most dangerous enemy of all: himself. See if the evil that has enveloped him for so long will win out, or if it can be conquered by the power of a beautiful love long ago lost.
