Synopsis: Preacher—frontiersman, gunslinger, patriot. An Old West adventure that will go down in history from the greatest western writer of the 21st century. On the rolling Missouri River, a riverboat of fur traders, a U.S. Senator, and Prussian royalty are all heading to the Yellowstone from St. Louis. Preacher&’s onboard because the nation&’s fate depends on the passengers landing safe and sound. But it won&’t be easy. Two beautiful women make a play for Preacher. So does a killer. So does a band of river pirates. No sooner does Preacher beat back these threats than the riverboat lands in the middle of a blood-soaked Indian ambush—with a Prussian nobleman and his family taken hostage. Preacher has no choice but to go off in pursuit, even with a traitor trying to slaughter him. Someone wants to start a war and change the course of American history. Only a lone mountain man and the ambush of bullets he wields with deadly, unerring force stands in the way . . . Praise for the novels of William W.
