Summary

From the master of the Western comes a novel full of romance and adventure.

Adam Laret - big, young, and headstrong - ran from Ehrenberg to the banks of the Rio Colorado. He was blindly fleeing his scheming, gambling brother and the woman Guerd stole from him. But Adam’s escape wasn’t complete until Guerd, in the company of a sheriff, hunted him down. Then Adam committed the ultimate crime. With the mark of Cain upon him - he traveled into the desert to atone for his sins.

In a vast, harsh world of heat and beauty, of stealthy creatures and gnawing starvation, Adam faced death and madmen, Indians and strangers who lived where life was impossible. But nothing he did - no act of courage, righteousness, or violence - washed Adam clean. Until he met a woman and made a choice: to fight his way back to civilization, the most dangerous place of all.

Engaging

I enjoyed the description of the environment. Yes in places the descriptions of people are outdated now but the self reflection is touching and well written. I enjoyed it

beautiful book

Wonderful descriptions of the désert and of feelings of being in it. I felt better after listening to this book, it added something to my life. The performance was fine except it could have been louder, and some words were muffled.

Rather outdated

Interesting story but much inappropriate stereotyping of women and other races which may have appeared okay when written in the middle of the last century.

Brilliant!

Excellent story, and a great examination of the solitude of the desert. Very well written
