Flight Of The Hawk - (Flight of the Hawk) by W Michael Gear (Paperback)

About the Book

"In The Plains the story of John Tylor continues. Tylor thought he was finally free of pursuit as he headed out into the Great Plains. Turns out he's the most wanted man beyond the frontier--and half the world is on his trail. Not only has Fenway McKeever survived, but he enlists a couple of British agents along with a party of angry Arapaho in his pursuit of Tylor. Chief Gray Bear, he finally has his rifles! But keeping them when every tribe on the Northern Plains wants him dead is going to take every bit of skill and luck his small band has. Cut off from the rest, Tylor finds himself accidentally and uncomfortably married to young Singing Lark. As the Blackfeet, Arapaho, and Fenway McKeever close in, so, too, does a dedicated young Toby Johnson. Toby's been sent by Andrew Jackson to bring Tylor back alive or dead, and he'll die before he fails his general."--Gear-gear.com.

Book Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR W. MICHAEL GEAR TAKES YOU DEEP INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS.

John Tylor figures everything is finally coming his way. He's got what he wants: a free shot into the wilderness where no one will ever know his name or his shame. As he and Will Cunningham head west into the northern Plains, Tylor rescues a wounded hawk, which he had dreams foretelling the event.

Tylor and Cunningham run smack into a party of Arapaho who are eager to relieve these solitary white guys of everything they've got, including the hawk. Fortunately, guided by visions, Gray Bear and his desperate little band of Shoshoni, arrive in the nick of time to drive off the Arapaho. The wounded hawk is proof of prophecy coming true.

A half-drowned Fenway McKeever has pulled himself out of the river, and he's enraged and seeking revenge. The Arapaho, feeling they've been humiliated, are also on Tylor and Gray Bear's backtrail, especially with the enticement of a bundle of guns. The race is on and Tylor and company are desperate to make the return to Shoshoni country and the safety of the mountains.

Will the wounded hawk ever be healed, let alone fit enough to finally take wing? Sometimes the simplest of dreams are the hardest to fulfill.
