Cheechako is tells the parallel stories of Ray Corngrower and John Littlefeather. Ray Corngrower is a deputy on the Reservation fighting cattle rustlers. John Littlefeather is working an Alaskan pipeline and fighting for his life in the tundra. Their stories converge as they fight together with deadly consequences.
I received a copy with this in exchange for a honest review. I don't usually read modern "Westerns," full of a deep, rumbling male voice. I was pleasantly surprised to find this tale full of adventure, humor and fun even if bits showed a harsh reality. It was full of colorful environments and people. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
