Major James Brionne brought Dave Allard to trial for murder. Just before the hanging, Dave swore his brothers would take vengeance. Four year later the Allard boys returned to settle the score. Only Brionne's son, Mat, escaped. They murdered his wife, destroyed his home, and left Brionne nothing but the charred ruins of his past to haunt him. Seeking peace and a new life, Brionne and Mat headed west on a train. When the train was half way across a prairie a prairie fire came roaring from over a knoll, and Brionne left his son with a young woman named Miranda while he went to battle the fire. When they got to Promontory Miranda goes off searching for her Uncles silver mine. Brionne and Mat head for the hills. But the Allard’s had followed him on the train. He knew they had and tried to lose them by heading for the Uintah hills, but the Allard’s follow him-and this time he'd be ready. 

I really liked this book because it was short and interesting. My favourite part of this book is when Brionne and Cotton Allard have a gun fight in the cabin. My favourite character was James Brionne because he was from the army and probably because he was the main guy.

This book would be based at adults but it is very good reading.
