“Without thinking he instinctively took hold of the body’s forearm, to steady it while he cut the rope which held the wrist onto the wheel. With a sensation which made Emmett feel physically ill the charred flesh moved under the pressure from his fingers. It slipped up the bone of the forearm and exposed the still slightly pink flesh remaining underneath. Emmett swallowed hard, then caught the first sickly smell of burnt flesh - and immediately felt the bile begin to rapidly rise in his throat. He let the forearm go, as if it remained hot to the touch, and grabbed the reassuringly solid spoke of the wheel. For a second there Emmett felt an overwhelming sweating and swimming sensation, as if he was going to faint. The feeling of the hard burnt wood was a pleasantly firm sensation to his fingers after what they’d been holding.”

Jake Base – the Texas town sheriff makes another appearance within the pages of this novel.
Here though the story is not about Jake, his family or his life.

The leading character is a new name – Alex Sawicki.

Young Alex’s family suffer terribly at the hands of the Apache while returning from a family visit.
Both parents are killed and his younger sister, Sarah, is taken captive.
He’s supported throughout the ordeal by his two young cousins and a similarly aged Comanche they give the name of Fingers.

Further west a group of men, unaware of the rather unique background of one of their band, head out into the wilderness of New Mexico to dig for their fortune.

In Santa Fe there’s a well respected wagon master with failing eyesight - recruiting for another trip up the Trail to Missouri.

Unbeknown to each of them the hand of fate is ready to play a major part in all their lives.
Together they will meet and unite with a single common goal.

To bring Sarah safely home once again!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Chris G Derrick was born and grew up in a small town situated between the cities of Bath and Bristol in the south west of the UK.

Born in 1957 his favourite genre of film has always been the Western.

A birthday treat to watch The Magnificent Seven with some young friends when he was around six years of age no doubt had a hand in developing his life long appreciation of the Old West.

After leaving school Chris started his working life as an accountant, with a short spell in HM Royal Marines in his early twenties.

From the 1980’s onwards he earned a living as an IT professional up until the end of March 2013.

Chris’s favourite part of the world happened to be the South Western states of the USA – Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Utah.

He'd always enjoyed writing, creating a picture with words, and still maintained his affection for a good Western and the cowboy way of life.

With this in mind Chris decided he'd combine these three things - and write a Western himself set in those states of the USA.

The Tainted Dollar was written with a keen eye on western history, and there are plans for other books to follow.

Each one will retain Jake Base - if not as the main then certainly as a central character within each story.

Jake Base – a US marshal, but one with a difference.

Keeping the tradition alive

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2016

Having previously read Derrick's other westerns 'The Tainted Dollar' and 'The Sheriff's Sister' I couldn't help but to read his third 'Wagon Mound to Santa Fe'
Derrick didn't let me down with his story of early pioneer life in the desert southwest of the United States. Although I enjoyed the story, I had though time at first in expecting that this story would take off where the second left off. It wasn't until late in the story and an e-mail to the author that I discovered 'Wagon Mound' was actually this authors first story.
I don't know if I should recommend reading 'Wagon Mound' before the first two, but I do recommend reading all three in some order. Derrick didn't let us down with this third in his series and he is definitely keeping the tradition alive with his stories of the old west.
Can't wait for the next if this author continues along this line

Western Guts and Glory!!

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2020

If you are looking for a fantastic story, a journey to follow this is your book series for the summer!!!
Read this in 3 days because I just couldn’t put it down. It starts off with a wallop to gut and you just aren’t expecting it and right then you become “part” of the lives of the people you are reading about!
You take every step, you feel their pain and their joy, you want to see them win because they have made you part of the family. Wagon Mound is western story-telling at its best, it has the heart and soul of the men and women who founded a nation!!!
