Yakima Henry is the loneliest breed of men in the Old West—he’s half-white, half-Cheyenne Indian.
It’s not easy being a half-breed on the western frontier. Belonging to neither race, Yakima finds himself at odds with both. Often fleeing a hangman’s rope, the lonely half-breed roams the mountains and plains, looking for…what?
Hell, not even Yakima knows. A home, maybe? The love of a good woman? He finds both for a time only after having hell to pay to get them…but for a man like Yakima, with a reputation as one of the most formidable gunfighters on the entire frontier, and having left a trail of dead men behind him…as well as broken hearts…none of the usual comforts are his for long.
Follow Yakima’s epic adventures in this gripping new omnibus, containing books 1-6.

Searching for?? Needing?? Drifting!!!
Drifting, fleeing, lonely, no place that is home, Yakima Henry being a half breed and not belonging to either the white or the Indian part of him, he just continues to search looking for that something that will tie him somewhere. Taking dangerous jobs, hooking up with dangerous women and still not finding what he wants. Maybe because he, himself doesn’t even know what it is that will make his roots take hold. With a reputation for not taking any guff from anyone; he and his Arkansas toothpick plus his gunfighting abilities leave a wide trail behind him, dead men and more than a few broken-hearted women. Being fairly good looking, built for loving and with a heart of gold he just can’t help but lend a helping hand to those that need. Life offers not many warm comforts for him and his horse Wolf, as they wander the west in their search! Wolf being the main reason for many of his comforts and a few of his troubles as horse thieves take a liken to him. Wolf is a one-man horse and no man separates him from his horse and is around to tell about it.
What did I like? Being a member of this half white/half red world, I could relate to the problems that faced Yakima and his search for belonging. Fortunately for me, I have the coloring for one of my bloodlines and did not have to go through all the problems that he did. Of course, I also was not born in the same time era either, there is a little more tolerance for the half breeds of my world. I enjoy reading and living the west with Peter Brandvold characters, so far this is my second omnibus with a single character in each. Both being strong, good looking, lovable with hearts full of gold, reaching out to help others beyond their own needs.
What will you like? A well written and edited book with a strong storyline that just reaches out and takes hold of you from the first to the last page. Characters that are amazing and bold with the ability to have you either hate or love with strong emotions. The fact that you have more than one story to fill your reading needs is awesome, too many times you find that a book needs more or your not ready to put that character to bed and be finished reading. The research again shows that Peter knows what he is writing about. The descriptions take you right into the story and make you comfortable. The action is incredible with many either making you cry or gasp but either way, you're on the edge of the seat while Yakima deals with the problems. If you're not crying or gasping your laughing because there is a ton of funny situations! Wonderful and highly recommended read. -
Poor read
If you like a complex plot, insights into main characters and character development this book is probably not for you. If on other hand you like a lot of hot sex on page after page for the purpose of tint elation then this book is for you. I personally found it boring after a few of them so I quit reading in the second story. -
Yakima Henry
Great series about Yakima Henry. I had heard CD’s by Leslie, Peter Brandvols pen name but think reading the actual text was better. A lot of writing in this one series, definitely worth it. -
Cowboy stories.

Drawn to the Fight
Yakima Henry is a half-breed, not accepted by his tribe and not wanted by the world he lives in until they want his fighting skills. The action is detailed, but very fast. Sought for his firearm skills and ability to travel through unmarked terrain, Yakima is a leader selected when there is no other choice. -
The last book I felt was the best of the 6. Too much descriptive sex, could have been handled in a more brief manner in the entire 6 books.

Great stories
Please pay attention, Mr. Brandvolt. You write awesome stories but if you misuse one more adjective or adverb I may lose it! Buffeting, indeed. Find out what a word means before falling in love with it. -
Great reading
This omnibus was a great adventure, great characters and a following story line that didn't overtake each book .
I can't wait for the next series, great work Mr Brandvold.
