Caldera

by Dan Baldwin

Caldera is about a man's lifelong, dangerous and heartbreaking pursuit to define, discover and hold on to the meaning of "family." Three forces shape Caldera's the indifference of his true father, a former mountain man who stumbled on to wealth and power in Arizona Territory; the love of his surrogate father, a Pima warrior; and the hate of a bordello madam with a taste for poison - his step-mother. He is at first just a happy-go-lucky kid. He becomes a scout during the Confederate invasion of the West, a husband and widower, a madman, and a guilt-ridden killer on a vengeance trail. Caldera's quest is told in two stand-alone Caldera and Caldera - A Man of Fire.

[Chris · Rating 5 out of 5]

A well-told Western that is historically and geographically accurate. Like any great book, I was pulled into the story and didn't come up for air until I was finished.
