The Drive — Patrick E. Craig

Out of the smoke and fire of the Civil War, an unlikely friendship is forged. Two men emerge from the war's ashes, cross paths, and decide to ride together, even though Carson Budrow wore Union blue and Garrett Roads Confederate gray. They form a cautious partnership and hook up with a cattle drive heading from Texas to Colorado. Fierce twisters, deep rivers, heartless desperadoes, bold Comanche with faces painted for war, and gun-toting, strong women will be on this drive. Worst of all is the gang tracking them and gunning for Budrow's life, something not even his partner Roads or the two women in Budrow's life think they can do anything to stop.
