Dakota Territory, 1867. The O'Driscoll brothers have survived a
Sioux massacre, but Michael is gravely wounded. The deserters are
fleeing north with Tom's lover, Sara, when they come upon a
sheltering rock by a river down off the Bozeman trail. If there is
game here, they may survive the winter. But their attempts to find
food and endure the savage winter are threatened by the arrival in
their camp of two trappers, whose presence sets in motion a series
of bloody events that will mark the trio as Outlaws, hunted by the
Montana Vigilance Committee, their likenesses appearing on Wanted
posters in settlements and mining camps along the trail. Enter any
town, and they will have to shoot their way out. The rock and the
river become their safe place, and when spring comes, their
paradise. But the world seeks its way to them, and even in paradise
human nature makes its own trouble. In this follow-up to his
acclaimed novel, Wolves of Eden, Kevin McCarthy tells a story of
three very human characters battling to survive in a vast,
beautiful, and unforgiving landscape.
