Spur Award winner Jory Sherman takes the reins for the next installment of Ralph Compton's long-running Trail Drive series. Doc Blaine has agreed to drive 3,000 head of cattle from Texas to Kansas, and the only help around are his sons Jared and Miles. But the boys are in love with the same woman, and their vow to kill each other on sight threatens to derail Doc's cattle drive faster than a speeding locomotive.

저자 정보

Jory Sherman was born in Minnesota and grew up in West Texas, Louisiana, and Colorado. He was a magazine editor for a time and had some of his work published, including some poetry, short stories and articles. Sherman had a friend who owned a publishing company and asked him to write a novel for the company. From that offer came five more novels, all written in one year. He wrote the supernatural mystery series, "Chill," which was somewhat revolutionary for the times, but which earned him an eight book contract. He then came up with the idea for "Rivers West," a series which had each book written by a different western author. Then came the "Baron Saga," the first of which was "Grass Kingdom" which earned Sherman a nomination for the Pulitzer Prize in Letters. Sherman has also won the Spur Award for his contribution to Western Literature.
