About

When the money dries up, a wrangler looks toward the Pacific for new opportunity in the latest installment of Ralph Compton's bestselling Trail Drive series.

Clay Forsythe never even knew there was such a thing as a paniolo-a Hawaiian cowboy-before two of them save his life. But when he meets Jose Vasquez and Leo Suarez he quickly realizes two things: they're talented and he actually likes them.

With no job offers on the horizon, things aren't going as well for Clay as they are for the paniolo. So when the pair offer him a job helping them drive new breeding stock to the coast, he sees no reason to decline. But there is a long way to go before they hit the saltwater trail to Hawaii.

And not everyone wants them to see Barker Ranch prosper; in fact, they'll do almost anything to stop the trio. But Clay and the paniolos aren't to be trifled with. If they can get the herd to their safe patch of land along the coast, it'll be smooth sailing after-and Clay vows that he'll get them there, come hell or high water. Ralph Compton stood six foot eight without his boots. He worked as a musician, a radio announcer, a songwriter, and a newspaper columnist.
