Excerpt from Out of the Depths: A Romance of Reclamation
The pony scrambled up the last ledges and came to a halt on the rim of High Mesa. It had been a long, hard climb. Tough as he was and mountain bred, the beast's rough coat was lathered with sweat and his flanks were heaving. The hunter's gaze roamed care lessly over the hilly pine-clad plateau of the upper mesa, while he took a nip of brandy from a silver cased flask and washed it down with a drink of the tepid water in his canteen.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a Western novel that follows the journey of a young, wealthy man named Lafayette Ashton. While on a hunting trip, Ashton is mistaken for a rustler and is confronted by a group of cowboys. In an attempt to escape, he shoots and wounds one of the cowboys, leading to a tense standoff. The tension ratchets up as the cowboys, led by the stoic Knowles and the hot-headed Gowan, demand payment for the injured cowboy and the slain calf that Ashton had mistaken for a deer. Ashton reveals that he is broke, having been robbed by his own valet and guide, and the situation seems dire. As the standoff continues, a young woman named Isobel Knowles arrives on the scene. She is the adopted daughter of Knowles and is intrigued by Ashton's predicament. Despite her initial skepticism, Isobel starts to see a different side to Ashton and offers her help. The novel explores themes of masculinity, justice, and the complexities of human nature, particularly the capacity for both good and evil that exists within us all.
