by Steven D. McKain (Author)
The Civil War of the United States has ended. Many have returned home only to be disappointed and dismayed at what they found and left in search of a new beginning, a new life or to be left alone. Drifting through the ruins of a nation ten months after the last shot was fired, many tried to forget. Two men, from opposite sides of the battlefield, drift through the wilderness of South Texas to try and forget their part in the bloody conflict. Moving from town-to-town they are content in their own selfish desires to remain alone and to be forgotten.
Consumed by guilt and the melancholia that accompanies it, they suffer the misery of living. Wyatt Stuart Chambers and Robert Sterling Barton, live from day to day in the belief that their actions are beyond redemption and their self-imposed exile is a just punishment for surviving the war. Meeting in the vast openness of Texas Wyatt and Robert are thrust into a lawless world, once again taking up arms to fight the injustice set upon those in search of a better life. Restored in the belief they are fighting for something bigger than themselves; they fight to the bitter end even as they are taken to the edges of Hell.
