Synopsis: Only one man can mete out justice on the unforgiving frontier. First in the Preacher series from the New York Times bestselling western author. He&’s known from the Northwest to the deserts of the Southwest as Preacher, though he&’s as far from being a man of the cloth as you can get. But when he was a young greenhorn, he was caught by a marauding tribe and set to be burned alive, until he just started preaching and never stopped. Figuring he was as crazy as a lizard, his captors turned him loose. Now with years of survival under his belt, Preacher is the only man who can lead a wagon train through the last leg of the Oregon Trail. He knows they&’re headed into renegade outlaws and bloodthirsty Indians, yet somehow he has to get these pilgrims through safely—if he doesn&’t want to be buried along the trail with the rest of them . . .
