THE WOLF'S CUB
Nathan Blaylock, the illegitimate son of Wyatt Earp, returns along with mentor and aging gunslinger Jim Riley as they travel together searching for Blaylock's son.
But Blaylock and Riley have some obstacles in their path. The hardheaded Captain Barnette is determined to open a trading post at Tanana Crossing, but he and his group are unprepared for a winter in Alaska. And after President McKinley is assassinated, the power struggle over the Isthmus of Panama escalates--the country who controls the canal controls the shipping lanes between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Certain interested parties are trying to steal guns from Canada, smuggle them through Alaska down to the Isthmus--and only Blaylock can stop them.
Pursued by a beautiful South American revolutionary, a spy for President Teddy Roosevelt, and the unshakable Barnette, Blaylock and Riley only have their experience and knowledge of the wild in their favor. The Wolf's Cub captures Blaylock's and Alaska's spirit--proud, uncompromising, and never to be broken.
