Summary
"The devil is in the details and David Buzan masterfully brings all of those details to bear in creating one hell of a novel."–Tom McCaffrey, bestselling author of The Claire Trilogy
The most highly decorated Native American in the history of the United States Cavalry, Jolon Winterhawk is a combat veteran of countless bloody skirmishes during the American Civil War. He's a man of honor, struggling with sworn allegiances to two different nations-the country he's sworn to protect, and the tribe he's promised to defend.
During a top-secret mission to escort a military gold train through Oregon's rugged Cascade Mountains, Winterhawk emerges as the sole survivor of a large-scale ambush. Duty-bound to complete the assignment and honor the sacrifices of his fallen comrades, Winterhawk makes the fateful decision to personally deliver the precious cargo of gold.
While Winterhawk embarks on a treacherous wagon trip across miles of dangerous wilderness, an aerial unit from the Army Balloon Corps has been dispatched to locate the missing train. Soon, the aeronauts seize upon a diabolical opportunity-stealing the gold for themselves.
Outnumbered and outgunned, Winterhawk soon finds himself in the fiercest battle of his life. But he quickly discovers that man is not his greatest enemy. Because there's something else lurking deep in those woods. A monster of myth, a horrifying creature of enormous size.

The Brave, the Bad, and Bigfoot!
Hollywood should be taking note of this storyteller. Buzan has crafted an epic tale with vivid characters, immersive detail and pulse-racing set pieces. I was gripped through every step, jump, dive and perilous plunge of Winterhawk’s long journey home. I was equally impressed by how historical details were used not only to ground the story, but to progress it and to add to those set pieces I mentioned. Prior to this (and perhaps because I’m a Brit) I’d not known of the Union Balloon core. I certainly can’t recall any use of it in popular media, however, it made for some striking and unique moments that will linger in the mind.
Being as I listened to the audio version, I feel credit is due the narrator for an eloquent and lively read. His character voices were distinct and his delivery was spot on.
Mind you, I’ll still buy a physical copy just to have that glorious artwork on my shelf.
