Dead Man's Road

Written by Randy Denmon

Narrated by Pete Bradbury

A nation is staggering to its feet after the long, devastating Civil War. The West is full of dreamers, wanderers, fighters and builders. One man has a plan to build a railroad-that plunges him into a brutal battle for survival. IN A LAND OF BEAUTY AND DEATH. In the high Rocky Mountains, Civil War veteran Marshall Brewster has a vision of wealth and fame. Under the tutelage of a hardened railroad tycoon, Brewster will build a railroad connecting Colorado's booming silver mines to a country starved for wealth-and maybe win himself the hand of a beautiful woman in the process. But as in war, Brewster's plan is soon shattered by the enemy: an angry, proud and desperate tribe of Cheyene warriors, a competing railroad baron and the ruthless, murderous hired guns at his beck and call. On a landscape of towering mountains, driving snow and clear rushing streams, the blood of fighters and innocents is being shed. And for a man who thought he already had his fill of war, another is just beginning-with no retreat, no surrender, and even bloodier than the battle he left behind.

Reviews for Dead Man's Road

[lamour_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

in 1868, Marshall Brewster is a construction engineer who is building a railroad through the Rocky Mountains in Colorado to improve access to the Territory's silver mines. The rival Southwest Pacific uses many illegal methods including bombing bridges, sabotaging equipment, and supplies with little regard for the lives of rail workers who may be in the way.Another hindrance to construction is the harassment by Cheyenne natives who fear the loss of the buffalo herds and their way of life. However, one of the pluses for Brewster is falling for the beautiful, feisty daughter of his boss.This is a fast moving novel about the early West during the expansion of the railway network. Demon weaves historical facts into the narrative while creating the wild action one expects in western fiction.
