The Savage Trail

SHERMAN/SAVAGE TRAIL

Late night drinking leads to an old ghost story told among four friends, whose lives are in a rut. It's time for a change. To spice things up, they decide to go ghost hunting out in the deep nowhere of Colorado. Even the locals don’t want them going on that trail. Not tonight, at least. The friends go out, hunting for the impossible, mostly just to get out of the city and recharge their lives. But when the night falls, imaginary horror proves to be all too real. And under a full moon, their innocent camping trip turns into a night of terror.

The threat isn’t over. The evil spirit known as Ghost Bear possessed the body of Tamara without anyone knowing. Bayok has escaped his prison and continues its killing spree right where it left off . Jenny and Mia learn of this but decide to leave it alone; they've both had enough horror for one lifetime. That thing is someone else’s problem now. But soon, they realize that the spirit might want to get even. The two have no idea how to finish the job; the last plan didn't work. They reach out to Tim Decker, the boss of the television crew Bayok slaughtered for help. Together, the unlikely trio set out to put an end to Bayok once and for all.

John Savage continues his relentless pursuit of the outlaws who had murdered his family. But the gang's leader, Ollie Hobart, has even greater ambitions--even if it means inciting war between the United States Cavalry and the Indian nations of the Western plains.

When Marshall Grant Starbuck returns home after hunting cattle-rustlers, he finds his family murdered and begins a search for the killers with the help of Kate Beaumont, a woman whose husband was killed by the same gang

It's time for the Autumn Bayok Festival Days in Dinosaur, and the full moon is near. Months after the attack, Jenny is consumed with revenge. Against her better judgement, she plans to return to Bayok's haunt, and her friend Mia refuses to be left behind. The Festival has attracted the attention of long time ghost enthusiast Tamara and her friend, Myranda. To catch a glimpse of the legend, they head to the place where the previous attacks happened years ago. A ghost hunting television crew has also been dispatched to the same spot, and hope to record the beast. After the unlikely group meets each other, night falls and the full moon rises. And soon enough, their trip turns into a desperate attempt to escape.

A towering novel filled with a new vision of the American frontier here is a magnificent saga of courage, told in blood: a gritty tale of the men and women who matched their bodies and souls against a land that would set them free or destroy them all.
