Sweazy delighted Best Books of Indiana judges with his latest                   addition to the Josiah Wolfe series.The Scorpion Trail, while a                   traditional and gritty western novel, sets itself apart in the                   genre due to Sweazy's deft storytelling and historical                   accuracy. It was a joy to watch the further development Josiah                   Wolfe's character throughout his new adventures inThe                   Scorpion Trail,which truly compliments Sweazy's previous                   novelThe Rattlesnake Season.WhileThe Scorpion                   Trailstands very well on its own, reading the books in                   tandem is recommended for a truly great western experience.Sweazy'sThe Rattlesnake Season, was only the                   second western novel ever selected as a finalist for the Best                   Books of Indiana competition.The Scorpion Trailnow                   becomes the first western to win the competition.
