About this ebook
Embark on a thrilling frontier journey with legendary mountain man Barnaby Skye in two riveting installments of the Spur Award-winning Skye's West series.
Going Home
In 1832, six years after deserting the Royal Navy, Barnaby Skye seizes a chance to clear his name and join the Hudson's Bay Company. Accompanied by his devoted Crow wife, Victoria, eccentric botanist Alistair Nutmeg, and a strange pariah dog, Skye heads west to begin his journey home. But trouble seems to follow this legendary frontiersman, as he battles Mexican bandits, murderous coastal Indians, thirst, starvation, and despair, learning the true meaning of honor and home along the way.
Downriver
The summer of 1838 sees the beaver-trapping business in decline. When Barnaby Skye is offered a post trader position in his Crow wife's homeland, he journeys to St. Louis aboard the steamboat Otter to present himself as a candidate. The 2,000-mile voyage down the Missouri River is fraught with danger, but the real threat lies in fellow passenger Alexandre Bonfils, a nefarious Creole fur brigade leader and rival for the job who is determined to eliminate the competition before the Otter reaches its destination.
Immerse yourself in the untamed American frontier with Richard S. Wheeler's masterful storytelling and unforgettable characters in Going Home and Downriver.
