In The Desperate Road, Volume 1, author Murray Pura takes us off on an exciting, western adventure set in post Civil War Missouri -- where emotions and loyalties to the North and South still run deep...spies and ruthless gunslingers run amuck...and no one can be fully trusted.We are introduced to two Wells Fargo agents and aides to President Grant, Remington Holt and Amos Dewery, notorious for taking down a ruthless gang of bandits during a stagecoach robbery. It is on that stagecoach where Remington first meets the lovely and delightful, Celestial Farr, with the looks of an angel and the cold, sharpshooting aim of the devil himself. Finding himself completely enthralled by this blonde beauty, Remington agrees to a tremendous favor that she asks of him. Will it be his undoing or has he found the love of his life?This spoken by a woman who does not care for reading westerns...you must read this story! Filled with excitement, an air of mystery, romance, and an unexpected twist that will blow your socks off, this is one not to be missed. Remington and Amos and their dry humor were so reminiscent of Artemus Gordon and James West of the old tv show, The Wild Wild West, I simply could not help but fall in love with them. Nicely done, Mr. Pura!
