He is Jamie Ian MacCallister - the subject of dime novels and campfire ballads. Raised by the Shawnee who call him Man Who is Not Afraid, MacCallister survived the bloodshed of the Alamo and the Civil War, and found an unexpected admirer in President Lincoln. And with each victory, the MacCallister legend has grown - as violent and unpredictable as the land that gave him life. In Scream of Eagles, the battle gets personal: the senseless murder of his beloved wife at the hands of the notorious Miles Nelson bunch. The law wants Nelson and his men dead or alive. Jamie MacCallister wants them dead. Tracking down a gang that's fifty-five strong takes MacCallister on a journey of revenge and self-discovery from Atlantic City's bustling port of thieves, con men and whores to the pristine and deadly landscape of the Colorado Rockies...and finally to a place called Little Big Horn. Jamie has nothing but his sons at his side - and an unquenchable thirst for justice - MacCallister style. Peopled with such real-life legends as Jim Bowie and Davy Crockett, as well as characters rich in invention and as authentic as the times in which they lived, Scream of Eagles captures the rousing spirit of the American frontier in all its splendor and glory.
