Forge Books, 2008

A Perilous Quest for Ancient Fossils in the Untamed American West With the trapping trade on the decline, legendary mountain man Barnaby Skye takes work as a guide, leading wealthy Englishman Graves Duplessis Mercer and two companions on an exploration of the Yellowstone and Missouri River valleys. Mercer, seeking sensational material for British tabloids, has little interest in the natural wonders of the West but is adept at ferreting out tales of cannibalism and atrocities. Though disappointed by the lack of such stories, Mercer insists on taking a trophy from a canyon filled with gigantic bones of ancient monsters, despite warnings from Skye's Crow Indian wife that the fossils are sacred. This act nearly costs the lives of the party and their legendary guide. In this thrilling installment of the Skye's West series, Richard S. Wheeler, an award-winning master of the Western genre, weaves a tale of adventure, peril, and the untamed American frontier. Barnaby Skye, a deserter from the Royal Navy turned famed mountain man, must use all his skills to navigate the dangers posed by both man and nature in this classic novel of the Old West.
