Rating: 5 out of 5

Jake Moran considered himself a coward. Yet most everyone else considered him a brave hero - or a foe to be dealt with. Turns out, he was all of these. The story centers around a long wagon train journey through hostile Indian territory where hardships, strife,  disease, fights, thirst and dying abound. An interesting cast of both good and bad guys make for suspense along the settlers trail through the western desert. Jake Moran reluctantly ends up in charge of getting them through, while all along doubting his abilities and denying his successes. Lots of strife and death along the way for white men, black men, red men and animals alike. First of a great series on Jake. I give it the full 5 stars for the great story, storytelling, action and intrigue.
