Thriller | Fiction | Historical
Western Kansas, 1860. Billy Battles is born on a remote homestead just off the
storied Santa Fe Trail. More than one hundred years later, a
great-grandson inherits two trunks filled with Billy's
personal effects. In those trunks are several secret
journals that reveal an astonishing life of adventure and
violence that until now was obscured by the haze of time and
Billy's desire for secrecy. The journals tell of a man both
haunted and hunted, who in a desperate search for peace and
redemption, journeys far from the untamed American West to
the Far East, South America, and Europe. In amazing detail, they describe Billy's interaction with a
wide assortment of men and women—some legendary, a few
iniquitous, and many lost to history. They also recount his
participation in such cataclysmic events as the Spanish
American War, turmoil in French Indochina, and violent
revolutions in Mexico and South America. Complying with
Billy's last request, the great-grandson assembles the
journals into a compelling trilogy that reveals a man often
trapped and overwhelmed by circumstances beyond his control,
but who nevertheless manages to persevere for ten decades.
