Wagon master Alvah Nye must reach Independence fast, but when he encounters a family in need, he can't ride past. It's not in him.
Cutthroats chase them down Mount Shasta. Comanche circle the prairie. The treacherous Dill Gang closes in beyond Wagon Mound. Shepherding a grieving family along an unforgiving trail is like running a gauntlet of bullets and arrows... shackled to an anchor.
If they don't make it back to Missouri in time, Alvah and his brothers of the road will go bust. Setbacks wreck their chances. They'll be lucky if they make it there at all.
But arrival isn't the end of the journey. For a man with itchy feet and far-away eyes, it's only the beginning. Somewhere out there is a future he's meant to discover. A destiny waiting to catch fire.
Return to Independence is the gripping prequel to The Frontier Adventures of Alvah Nye, a western saga of courage, loyalty, and building a future out of nothing.
Set in the same world as Ghosts Along the Oregon Trail, this novella invites new readers and Ghosts fans to follow Alvah Nye into the vast frontier.
Return to Independence is perfect for readers of John Deacon and Ron Schwab. This is the ride for you if you enjoy clean classic western fiction packed with action and adventure... written today but reminiscent of Gunsmoke, Wagon Train, and Little House on the Prairie.
