When Alvah Nye encounters trouble on the trail, he doesn't ride past. It's not in him to turn his back on misfortune.
He stands six foot four, with broad shoulders and a quiet faith in the Lord. Loyal to a fault, Alvah places his trust in those who ride beside him. Fans of Ghosts Along the Oregon Trail already know what he's made of. Alvah shoulders the weathered old soul of a mountain man and sports the wide-eyed wonder of a man who hasn't seen enough yet. And probably never will.
Alvah zigs and zags across the prairie, yet all roads lead to Sweetwater Junction. It's a settlement that doesn't deserve to be called a town. Everyone journeys through it, but nobody's ever heard of it. Even the wind whips past it. The soil is so shallow, only buffalo grass and sagebrush manage to hold fast. And yet, it is a place where a wandering man can put down roots.
His brothers of the trail are always near. Arikta is wise beyond his years and at ease in any crowd. Dembi Koofai is as good as a hound on a trail. Those who don't know him find him mysterious. Even those that do never know for sure what he's thinking. The relentless Leo Santonini, who could sell rattlesnake eggs to a town full of prairie dogs, has ideas that keep everybody on their toes. Especially Alvah.
Sarah Pinecroft has a way of making the whole frontier feel like home. Alvah's not the sort of man to get lost in a romantic haze. He's managed to keep his eyes on the horizon rather than warm his feet by a woman's hearth. But that was before he met Sarah.
The Frontier Adventures of Alvah Nye is a series of clean classic western fiction. Action, danger, and a thread of faith are woven through every installment. It's perfect for readers of John Deacon and Ron Schwab, written today but reminiscent of Gunsmoke, Wagon Train, The Sacketts, and Little House on the Prairie.
