Ghosts Along the Oregon Trail – book 1 by David Fitz-Gerald
REVIEW
I’d been looking forward to this series ever since the author mentioned he was working on an Oregon Trail series. There were several reasons for my anticipation; first and foremost among them is the simple fact that I am fascinated with this period of American history. Also, I was curious as to how the author would carry over the spiritual/mystical elements in his other works concerning the main characters in this series. I was also interested in the portrayal of the day-to-day events in a wagon train; the daily trudging mile ..read more

The fifth book in the stunning The Ninth Century Series.
The three defeated jarls of Grantabridge might be hiding behind the walls of their settlement as winter storms ravage, but the weather is no deterrent for another adversary, and Coelwulf holds a far more personal grudge against Jarl Halfdan.

Exposed to the south, in jeopardy from the north; Coelwulf hasn’t fought his last battle yet.
REVIEW
It seems the Raiders are rather disrespectful of the tim ..read more
