About the book
The Sante Fe Trail extends all the way from the Mississippi River to the New Mexico Territory, cutting through the most treacherous territories in the West. This is why a wealthy trader enlists the help of a mountain man known as Preacher to safeguard his trade goods and guide a group of pilgrims to their Promised Land. Among those under Preacher's protection are a young prostitute and the spoiled son of the wagon train owner. However, unexpected challenges arise as a gun is discharged at the wrong time, a massive grizzly bear launches an attack, and both outlaws and Comanches launch ambushes on the wagon train. Now, the travellers find themselves surrounded by predators of all kinds. With danger closing in from all sides, Preacher has no choice but to confront the peril head-on and carve a path of survival through the chaos...
