Book Description

January 2001
Jock Cameron never thought to love again after his fiancee was butchered by Apaches. But he's been captivated by a dusky beauty, Marina Clark, who is searching for lost Spanish gold with her husband. Adrian Clark lost his fortune and his honour in the Civil War but knows he can recapture both with gold and a beautiful woman on his arm. These three ride through the Arizona territory, pursued by Gaston Bachelard, an ex-Confederate Army officer seeking wealth and power in Mexico, and by Perro Loco, an Apache Cameron once left for dead, who has sworn to have revenge. Trapped by greed, the Clarks and Cameron go to ground in a cave that holds untold wealth...but to escape, they must run straight into the weapons of their enemies.

"Peter Brandvold is one of the rising stars of Western fiction. This is everything a darn good Western should be: an absorbing, fast-paced plot, which keeps the reader, turning pages. A gritty tale well done." -The Tulsa World

5.0 out of 5 stars Living Hope, April 27, 2002
By 
Tom S. Coke (Belle Plaine, Kansas United States) - See all my reviews
Peter Brandvold develops the characters in this story of gold seekers, each looking for more than gold. From the opening stage holdup to the climactic scene in a cave, this adventure held my attention throughout the well-developed theme of what motivates people and how that motivation plays out in each personality. Brandvold uses the term "romantic" to describe how a person lives his life in hope. Cameron didn't believe in any lost treasures when he first ran into the other gold seekers. His friend Going told him "You've lost your sense of romance" (chapter 20). Later Going told Marina "Well, I guess we're just romantics" (chapter 30) since they both held out hope of a treasure. And at the end of the book the same idea surfaces. All in all, this is a great story. I wish it would be made into a movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brandvold took me to mexico, March 4, 2002
By A Customer
I could not put this book down...Peter Brandvold brought me to the abandoned Jesuit chapel and I never left my chair. The scenes, the people, the descriptions, all told the gritty tale of treasure hunting in the Sierra Madres. The details of the guns, clothing, and landscape all put you right into the book with Jack Cameron. Thanks, Mr. Brandvold, for taking me to Mexico with you.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT WEASTERN!!!!!!, April 29, 2002
By 
The is the first Brandvold book I have read. I sure plan on reading many more. It is one of the best westerns I have read in a long time. It is a story of Jack Cameron and his sidekicks who have been hired by Adrain Clark and his wife, Marina Clark to find a hidden treasure. They are chased by Apachies, Mexican soldiers and Gaston Bachelard and his gang. There is a lot of action and the book will hold your attention. I think you will like Cameron's friends, Jimmy, the kid, Bud Hotchkiss, Tokente and She Bear. Cameron is very tough, good with a gun or knife. He also has his tender side. I found myself skimming pages to see what happened next. If you like fast paced westerns you will like this book.
