The Predators Reviews
-
Focused on 1859 Mormon handcart migration from Europe to Utah, three plot lines converge: Texans seek wives among the Mormon women, one poor English girl endures many hardships during the trip, and a trapper hunts down gang who is planning to murder the Mormons. Interesting stories, but too many subplots and poorly developed characters.
-
If you like this genre, this novel has all that, but also well-written prose and well-sketched characterization.
-
Another good novel by this author. I will continue reading more by this author.
