Samenvatting
A story of tragedy, heartache, revenge and redemptionthat was Nathan Hunts life, a young Newspaper Reporter robbed of all he held dear. His cherished wife Ruthie, late with child, and in-laws he loved, ruthlessly murdered in a retaliatory act against his probes into government corruption. Nathan blames himself for working too aggressively, and not protecting his family. Hes young, and sure hes invincible, never taking into account the vulnerability of his loved ones.As he holds the body of his wife and unborn child in his lap, he swears revenge; unconditional revenge, however long, whatever the cost, he will never surrender to defeat. His only goal in life will be to pursue the murderer or murderers, and exact the price he deems just.The only clues are a man with a scar, and a suspect who disappeared at the time of the murders. Are they the same man? It will take Nathan three years to find out.Leaving a large inheritance and a life of ease, his pursuit will take him across the American continent from Philadelphia to San Diego. Alone in a one-horse buggy he follows what he believes is the trail of the suspects down the eastern seaboard. Then as the trail turns west, he moves from steamboat to steamboat, and town to town, but always a few weeks behind the pursued. His search halts when he learns a scar faced man and two others joined the last Wagon train out before winter over the Oregon Trail. Nathan arrives too late to follow, so he turns south to a warmer climate, and takes a job in West Texas on a cattle ranch. He hires on and agrees to stay through the spring roundup, but not for the pay. Rather he realizes that he grew up a city boy and there was more to surviving in the west than being well educated and rich.The lessons come fast at the Circle C, and he doesnt win every fight, but in the end, he wins the respect of all the other cowpunchers, as well as the ranchs owner, Mister Curry. He also meets Blacky Hazard at the ranch, and makes friends quickly. Blacky teaches him the ways of the west. Moreover, he teaches him how to handle his fists, a pair of six shooters, and more importantly, how to be the one that walks away when the dust settles.It is here, in Prickly Pear, Texas, that Nathan and Sylvester Wheeler meet under strange circumstances, and become the best of friends. Together they migrate to California, taking the most southern route. At the end of the trail stands San Diego, paradise found it seemedbut Nathans fate lies somewhere ahead in the unknown.
