Synopsis

High in the Rockies lay the Bayou Salade, a lush beaver–rich valley so untouched that the few white men who had seen it called it paradise. But for Scratch Bass, his young partner Josiah Paddock, and the two Indian women they loved, this paradise would open up a hell of violence. Pursued by a vengeful Arapaho raiding party, Scratch will lead his small band through a flurry of arrows all the way to Taos itself. Yet the trail of blood will not end there. For in St. Louis an old enemy waits, and the time is ripe for Scratch to settle a ten-year score. Through the desert known as the Journey of Death to the rough-and-tumble town of St. Louis, Scratch and Josiah will defy the wilderness to bury the past—and a blackhearted killer—once and for all.

I’d call this series the gifts that keep on giving. Even after six volumes (out of nine) the action and adventure haven’t grown tiresome. I’m still right there in the thick of the action with the characters, the way a good historical fiction book ought to make you feel. 5/5.......more

Interesting bits of history. Got to be a little unbelievable with how the hero beats the odds. Second in trilogy was better.......more

Love the Titus Bass series. Cannot get enough. A little too detailed on describing Titus's life experiences, still makes you want to keep turning the pages.......more
