Large print - 2013

When Jesse Ross was eighteen, he was forced to learn firsthand that a person's life could be changed irrevocably by one deed, and that one act can set an endless chain of events into motion. That was something Jesse's neighbor, Gray Fletcher, had experienced years before when he was with the Texas Rangers. Gray had joined to seek retaliation against marauding Indians who killed two of his children and took his wife captive. Now Jessie has killed a Union soldier to protect his family. His only hope to evade capture is to join other Missourians in Slaughte's Rangers, an underground outfit. Gray trains Jesse and sends him off to join the Rangers. Revenge had not been enough to sustain Gray years before. How long will revenge kee...p Jesse going?

Review by Library Journal Review

Zimmer's second novel fulfills the promise of his first, Sundown. His style is neat and spare, his characters people to be concerned about, and the setting one of great interest to readers of Western history--Missouri during the Civil War. Jesse Ross, an 18-year-old Missouri farm boy, joins the Missouri Rangers, who are rangers of a better sort--fighters not marauders. As a Ranger, Jesse toughens and hardens but is never a willing killer. His love for Missouri and farming and loyalty to friends and the Confederacy never falters. A pleasing book about an unpleasant subject--the ugliness of war of any kind.-- Sister Avila, Acad. of Holy Angels, Minneapolis (c) Copyright 2010.
