A cattle drive, a feud, and a hurricane bearing down upon a town that was facing extinction...all contribute to an above average, nay, very good adventure told by a master storyteller. I believe I'll keep this one. ( ) Page-turner involving a cattle drive, a Texas feud, a hurricane, and true love! Tap Duvarney has partnered with an old friend to drive a herd of cattle to Kansas. He arrives to find his friend absorbed in a family feud and his cattle scattered. Along the way, his Virginia fiance shows up, as does a deadly hurricane. Great adventure. P.S. The hurricane description of Indianola, Texas is based on real events. Product Description
Tap Duvarney lost his innocence in the War Between the States and then put his skills to the test as a soldier in the frontier army. Now he has settled on the Texas coast, working a ranch as the partner of his old friend Tom Kittery–and finding himself in the middle of a feud between Kittery and the neighboring Munson family. Around Matagorda Island, most people are either backing the Munsons or remaining silent. But the danger from outside Kittery’s camp is nothing compared to the threat within, as Duvarney begins to suspect that Kittery’s woman isn’t everything she appears to be. Now Tap is discovering that he must go to war again. But will it be with the Munsons–or with his closest friend?
