The deep wilds of the west in the early 19th Century were a dangerous paradise, beautiful and deadly in equal measure, and Glass's struggle across that vanished landscape is an epic that Punke tells with absolute conviction. This is a story that truly shows us the real strength of vengeance, and how it can lead a man in a quest for survival. - Andrew, The Book Grocer
