Owl Man - by Tim Long (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Even if legendary Owl Man can successfully warn the Métis Clan of a pack of villainous train robber-killers entering his own one-time mountain sanctuary, the Minneconjou warrior will join them to battle together in a war of survival. Stalked by outlaws who first suffer a taste of their own blood attacked by a handful of skilled Métis fighters, their leader vows to kill them all. But Owl Man is no stranger to trouble, and before his big-bore Sharps buffalo rifle - or his adopted proteges - have their own trial by fire. In chilling realization they are targeted for murder, he's forced to morally team with Henri Dumont's outnumbered Métis family-defenders before ruthless ex-Confederate guerilla fighter Micah Flint and his desperate gang slaughter the Clan's helpless ones. Disfigurement-burn-scars signaling silence of a lone wolf turns as a wild pony reminds Owl Man of his own endowed spiritual awareness, pivoting him into an uncommon, quick-thinking force. Indomitable in broken places joined together with newfound loved ones - evidencing true human caring - their lot is cast in determination to rub out the Bad Ones. This is a tale of new life, survival and pursuit, in a last stand of wilderness justice, surety of heart, where Death is not a stranger.
