Mountain man Trace McCall has seen enough of "civilization" to be content with a simple existence living off the land. He keeps mostly to himself--except for visiting with pretty neighbor Jamie Tresh and occasionally crossing paths with the local Blackfeet tribe. But forces beyond his control are about to put Trace's peaceful life on the line. Trouble starts when he decides to help some homesteaders make their way to Fort Bridger. The journey puts Trace on the wrong side of two violent men--and a group of renegade Blackfeet on a murderous mission. Then he finds out Jamie's been abducted--possibly sold into slavery, or worse. Now it's kill or be killed as Trace's pursuit of the kidnappers leads him ever deeper into danger among warring Indian factions and hostile white men in the world he'd hoped to leave behind...

..."Wings of the Hawk" was the first book in this series. This is the second one. Trace McCall is still in his beloved mountains. All is well until Jamie Thresh is carried off by the Indians. Jamie has always loved Trace but the affecton has not been returned. Trace set out it find her and bring her back. It takes quite some time as Trace many Indians and slso some whites are out to kill Trace and get the name of having killed the "Mountain Hawk". Nearly every time Trace gets close to her she is traded off to someone else. Will he be able to get her back? What about the simple man named "Ox", will he make it? A book with a lot of action, sad in parts but will hold your attention. Will be glad to read the third book to see what finally happens to Trace McCall.
