By: Gaston, Roy V.

AWARD WINNING AUTHOR

"A searing, swashbuckling Civil War historical novel...
Brutal, eloquent, impeccably researched...immediately immersive... "

1862, on the eve of the Civil War, a sadistic slave trader brutally murders a beautiful young woman. Once disinterested in war, a soft-handed academic vows vengeance, enlisting in an elite company of scouts and snipers assigned to wipe out Confederate 'bushwhackers, ' men who cloak their depravities in the bitter partisan warfare roaring through Tennessee. He must become a warrior to survive the bloody battlefields of The South in pursuit of the killer, now a colonel in Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest's rampaging cavalry corps.

"This is a historical fiction epic enjoyable from start to finish..." Manhattan Book Review"

Praise for Beyond the Goodnight Trail

"A wild and thrilling, offbeat ride through a rough Texas and New Mexico landscape . . . Bigfoot Wallace, Bass Reeves, Britt Johnson, and all the legendary characters of the West are here. This tale of adventure, bloodshed, violence, and unlikely friendships in the old West should win Gaston plenty of fans." -Booksiren rates it: Amazing

"A captivating, frequently philosophical page-turner that delivers a visceral portrait of the Wild West" -Kirkus Reviews
