"Leaving their Pennsylvania home to forge a new life in untamed Oregon Territory of 1845, the Colter family is ambushed by a kill-crazy gang of cuttthroats on the Oregion Trail. Fifteen-year-old Tim Colter manages to escape and hide -- only to return and find his parents butchered, his two sisters missing, and one last killer waiting for him. Forced to fight for his life, the young Colter embarks on a perilous journey across a lawless frontier, hoping to save his sisters and salvage their dream. But first, Tim has to figure out how to survive." -- cover page 4.
