Undaunted

The Tom Fortner Trilogy #2

by C.G. Faulkner

‘Undaunted’ is the story of former Confederate Cavalry Officer, Captain Thomas Jefferson Fortner. After the War Between the States and the beginning of Reconstruction, Tom went West to Colorado for a new beginning.
There, he started over as a Sheriff, and then as a farmer and rancher. He found a wife, friends, and now has a family and a place in the community. In 1877, he finds the opportunity to make his fortune; a cattle drive to supply the Army in the Montana Territory.
However, a new adversary stands in his way. A ruthless and powerful cattle baron that always gets what he wants, and always defeats his opponent.
But he has never before faced as determined an enemy as Tom Fortner.

[Andrew McBride · Rating 4 out of 5]

A brisk, action-packed western. UNDAUNTED by C. G. Faulkner is part two of a trilogy featuring ex-Confederate officer now rancher Tom Fortner. It’s 1877 and Fortner is in a race to drive cattle from Colorado to Montana. Fortner’s rival in the race is a ruthless English cattle baron and his band of hired guns. Hostile Indians and a corrupt lawman also pose threats in a tale told at a cracking pace. Cattle-drive westerns are very familiar of course, but Faulkner keeps thing fresh by throwing in unusual twists, such as the drovers facing peril from avalanches and the erupting geysers of Yellowstone Park!

This second book in the Fortner Saga finds Tom Fortner established in Cimmaron City, Colorado as a sheriff and pillar of the community, having rebuilt his life with a wife, a son and a daughter. He and his friends, with whom you will be familiar if you read Unreconstructed, decide to take on a cattle drive to Montana to fulfill the needs of US Army outposts there. Tom and his friends aren't the only participants; they are up against an unsavory cattle baron who doesn't hesitate to use dirty tricks to ensure that Tom and his friends aren't the first to reach Montana.

Undaunted is consistent with Unreconstructed in using that same serial approach that is very compelling. The cattle drive is full of supsense, sabotage, man struggling against the elements, and even murder.

It's a worthy successor to Unreconstructed and fans of classic Western novels will enjoy it.

My second book, maybe even better than the first!
