Sometimes, no matter how much you want to be left alone, trouble finds you... Ten years after leaving home to find his future in the West, Gordon Hawkes risks going back east to pick up a package his mother left him. Attacked by a posse looking to collect the bounty on his head, Hawkes hides out among Mormons and agrees to guide them to their own promised land. The Mormons led by Brigham Young are on the run, too-from persecution for their way of life. Thousands of settlers have trekked westward before them and much of the good land has been taken. The Mormons have to settle for harsh desert but even so find themselves in violent conflict with other land-seekers. Soon enough, federal troops are sent in to restore peace. But as with Hawkes, there is no place left to go for Brigham Young and his people. As the dreams of so many men and women collide around him, the mountain man finds that his untainted country has become a battleground!>/p> SECOND IN THE EPIC SIX-BOOK MOUNTAIN MAN SERIES BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF HIGH COUNTRY AND AMERICAN BLOOD.
