Ralph Compton the Wolves of Seven Pines

Beschreibung

"His wife is gone, his reputation was lost in the war, and most of his life has already passed by. All Carpenter has left are the men from his Army company. During the journey to California to reunite with them, he strikes up a friendship with Rafael Silva, making for the same town to start up a rifle factory. When they arrive, Carpenter's former brothers-in-arms try to run Silva out of town, despite the much needed factory. Carpenter has to choose between his new friend and the ones who stood with him through the war. His old comrades just aren't who they used to be but, then, neither is he."--Back cover.
