Scott Chantler (Author, Artist)

Book Description

Series: Northwest Passage | Publication Date: August 2, 2005

Most westerns have traditionally dealt with the rough and tumble life on the high plains and deserts of America. Yet an even greater territory with an even more inhospitable climate rests to the North in what is now Canada. Rupert's Land was a vast expanse held by the Hudson Bay Company under a charter issued by the British Crown. It is amongst these beautiful and harsh lands surrounding the Hudson Bay that this great epic unfolds. After Fort Newcastle is brutally captured by invading French mercenaries, Charles Lord and a band of his surviving soldiers, trackers, and explorers embark on one last great adventure to unite the people of Rupert's Land to reclaim their home. This rollicking historical adventure fights its way on land and sea, all in search of and control of the mythic Northwest Passage.
