Synopsis

FROM WESTERN WORD-SLINGER AND ANTHROPOLOGIST W. MICHAEL GEAR, COMES AN ENTIRELY NEW TYPE OF WESTERN – A CONTEMPORARY APOCALYPTIC WESTERN.For anthropology graduate student Sam Delgado, headed to the wilds of Wyoming, this is his last chance to save his graduate career. He and his urban classmates see this as the adventure of a lifetime: They are going to horse-pack in the wilderness to map and test a high-altitude archaeological site.Until a cyber-attack collapses the American banking system and an already fractured nation descends into anarchy and chaos. All credit frozen, Sam and his archaeological field school are trapped in their high-altitude camp. With return to the East impossible, Sam, the woman he has come to love, and the rest of the students must rely on hard-bitten Wyoming ranchers for their very survival.Guided only by an illusive Shoshone spirit helper, Sam will discover the meaning of self-sacrifice. Even at the cost of his life.Haunting, provoking, frightening and prescient – in the end, all that stands between civilization and barbarism is one young man’s courage and belief in himself.“Gear is a master when it comes to vividly described settings: you can smell the smoke, hear the wind in the trees, and feel the cold.”

In this novel, a cyberattack on the American banking system quickly brings down life as we know it. The plot: Sam Delgado, an anthropology grad student from NYC, is......more

Goodreads review by Theresa

As a long term fan, I can only hope that Michael Gear is not precognitive, although his prior books make you really really hope that he doesn't follow form.

Goodreads review by MacGal

Good Read I’m a huge fan of this author and have spent many enjoyable hours reading his books on Native American culture. But a book that combines archaeology, native and western Americana, together with a standard TEOTWAWKI tale how can you go wrong? The characters are well crafted and the setting i......more
