Three people--Levi Coffin, Errin Scanlan, and Celeste Beremendes--journey to California to start over, escape the past, and build new lives amidst the trials and tribulations of the wild frontier. Original.
Great author, I feel that he is the best western writer since Louis Lamour in the western series. He writes with stronger characters than Louis Lamour, but each of them have their weakness also. I personally feel the book the "Nighthawk" is one of his best books. Read it to see if you like his style as this most closely resembles Louis Lamour. This is one of my favorite books of his.
Love and Death
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
A young yankee soldier, Levi Coffin, a sharpshooter with his Spencer rifle during a fierce battle kills everyone he can see. Sick of all the killing he deserts and makes it to California. While waking the early morning he espies a person swimming to shore and waites to meet him. This man was a prisoner in Austrailia as punishment for his many crimes while living in England. Errin Scanlan was on a sailing vessel and allowed to jump ship and swim to shore by the captain who was grateful to Errin for his help in stopping a mutiny. From there a great story unfolds.
A very well-written and entertaining story!

The master story writter F.M. Parker has done it again. This book is highly recommended on my book list.
