A young man and his two friends tire of working on their old farms along the East Coast and decide to head for the wild country that lies west. The dangers of traveling through untamed Indian country is an experience they have never had to face. But they become quick learners on surviving the perils of the wild when one of them is captured by a tribe of Indians, and taken to their encampment to quench their lust for torture and scalping. They then meet up with a mountain man who becomes their traveling companion and mentor. They rescue two young children who were left orphaned out on the plains. Their struggles not only involve protecting their own lives, but the children’s as well. In their travels, they search for a family that will take the children in. The youngsters are hard workers, and quite skilled at riding horses and using firearms in defense. In the end, they now live out West, snuggled in a valley between two mountain ranges and a beautiful river, finding their own peaceful place after surviving A Perilous Journey to Peace.
Even though the author had not intended to pen another book after his first book, Beware the Gaheena!, the demand from his readers for a sequel was overwhelming. In the sequel, In Search of Silver Wolf, he ingeniously resurrects Silver Wolf and not only answers that demand, but gives his readers a great read.

Born against the backdrop of the majestic Cascade Mountains in Washington State, Gerald A. Moriarty wrote his Western Vanishing Anger to express “my love for the mountains and my fascination for those during the mid-1800s who were mountain men.” Though the author’s primary interest is in following the adventures of the Wild West’s mountain men, he heads off in a totally new direction, writing his Western tales. Moriarty has experienced the bite of gold fever himself, and his next two books will express that side of his life. In this novel, an angry man tired of all the fighting needed to defend himself back home on the docks, heads West seeking a new life. His transformation from an angry man to one who finds peace takes place as he finds adventure and self-reliance on his travels. The former longshoreman becomes a gold prospector and a frontiersman who meets up with thieves and scammers.
This book, being the sequel to the author’s book, Vanishing Anger, depicts the lure of what that lustrous glow of gold can do when one becomes bitten by that dreaded “gold fever.” You will enjoy the ride with a man who had been bit with that fever. The thrills and tragedies that accompany you throughout this journey will keep your interest glued to the pages that lie before you.
