Pursuit - Rod McFain

. .

Résumé :

The year is 1874. Gray Wehr is a complex man, an enigma. Saddled with a deserved but unsought reputation, he longs for a quiet life, a chance to make amends. Gray wants no part of it, but his past life won't die. When an old friend comes seeking a savior, he faces an agonizing decision. Does he play the role of redeemer, honor a lifetime dedication to friendship and try to save her captured family, or reject her plea that will lead him back into the brutality of the past? Without pursuit, there will be no deliverance, but there are no guarantees, except that people will die.

Pursuit progresses at an exciting pace, growing in emotional intensity as it moves. Strong characters, both male and female, are presented in a rugged, historically accurate western setting. Pursuit is a tale of individual heroism and of cruelty. It is both uplifting and achingly moving.
