Like Titus Bass? Try a side trek with Shad Sweete

I finished the whole Titus Bass series from Carry the Wind to the author's last volume in the series, which he had finished soon before his death. With the death of Titus and the author (I think he secretly was the character in his books), I felt a loss and just had to read more. This is a great follow-up to Titus, following Shad, his longtime friend and fellow trapper, and a new member in the cast, a younger, ex-Confederate rebel, Jonah Hook. Jonah takes us around the plains on his journey to right what was wronged against his family in the years following the Civil War, where the frontier was ridden by men who make their own rules and often raised a hand against their own kind without remorse. You'll enjoy this book a lot and find the reading engrossing as all of Terry's books.

As a Lakota (Hunkpapa) I felt at home with the history

The story was a page turner. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the trilogy.This is the first book of his I have read and I intend to read all of his books.
