A classic western novel from Frank Wheeler with non-stop epic adventure and a blend of western romance
Dr. Ambrose McCoy spent four long years saving the lives of wounded soldiers, but he could not save his own wife when she grew ill. If not for his friend Kodiak, he’d have given up hope. Now, Doc’s got a new job protecting a rich rancher named Winston Strauss, and his beautiful daughter, Evangeline.
There’s just one catch.
Every gunslinger that Mr. Strauss has hired before now was either killed or run off by Axl Dutch, an equally wealthy rancher driven by greed and revenge. Dutch believes there’s a mythical silver vein running through the heart of Strauss’s land, and he’s determined to find it by any means necessary.
Everyone knows the silver isn’t real, but Strauss is definitely hiding something. And the more Doc tries to investigate, the more danger he faces.
Not just from Dutch, but a man known only as the Phantom.
Evangeline is the one caught in the middle, and her life is being threatened. The townsfolk of Silver Creek don’t know who to believe, or whose side to take. Is it possible the mythical silver mine is not so mythical after all?
Each novel in the series is a standalone western which can be read out of order.
Not able to finish the book due to disrespect for God!
There are plenty of things I dislike in this book. Number one is the author has no respect for God. Number two he just drags and drags and drags with the story. Number three is way too many typos. I would not be reading anymore books by Frank Wheeler.
The story of a young doctor helping as many hurt in war is the perfect beginning to this book. You find a constant war within each person all hoping for a good doctor who will help along their way. Give it a try, you'll like it.
Has a flow to it. There is much going on but sums up to greed. I interesting characters and storyline. Not too bloody of explanations but gets the point across. Highly recommended for all readers.
The story brings to life the tatters civil war veteran's change and redemption to a conclusion. From war and death of his wife throws the veteran into a downward spiral. His friend offers him a change, and the change brings out the hero in him. Enjoy.
First book of Frank Wheeler I've read and it was fantastic.I read it in one go as I wanted to see how it ended. I wasn't disappointed..! I am now looking forward to reading his next book and hope its at least half as good as this one.....😋
