About This Book

Four determined men cross a desert in search of gold; their last water holes are dry. Hal Sinclair, optimistic and humming, contrasts with Sandersen's foreboding; Lowrie provides firearms skill and Quade the heavy labor. When Sinclair's horse breaks a leg and pins him, the party is forced to tend him and conserve dwindling resources, while resentment grows as they alternate walking and riding. The narrative follows their struggle for survival, the shifting balance of authority, the strain on fragile loyalties, and how hope, fear, and exhaustion drive desperate choices in a hostile landscape.
