The sequel is coming soon, don't miss reading this one first!
Beyond the Horizons drops a reader into the depths of times past with heroes as fresh and alive as this morning’s news. Not since John Jakes has there been a story told with such ferocious realism, combining the hard conditions of the era with the personality of true life. Brilliantly written! Terrific emotional intrigue! The west is, indeed, wild! Don’t miss this one!
Beyond the Horizons is a stunning example of great writing and vivid realism! Of heroes who personify valor and desire. Of women filled with passion and strength. Of villains that drip with malice. This historical fiction novel combines adventure, romance, and brutal vision with the trials of both the Civil War and the battle for survival in the Wild West as it follows a band of friends through the daily pain of living and the fierce warmth of loving. From page one you will feel the will and determination of a young soldier caught in a time of fury where one knew why to fight but not why death was always so close on the heels of winning the battle.
Be ready to run the gamut of emotions as Boren takes you into the realism of life on the edge. At times I laughed with the characters, feeling a content that one wishes for in real life. But just as I was becoming comfortable, the lurking menace and evil were so strongly and cleverly written that my skin crawled with revulsion and a shiver made its tingling way up my spine. But the worst – or the best, depending upon how one looks at it – were the times that tears fell as I slammed the book shut, shouting: “No! That cannot happen now!”
Make no mistake: Boren is on his way with this epic saga of ruthless life and love in times not so pretty. It might even make one wonder about the parallels of times present. Read Beyond the Horizons. You won’t be sorry. To Read a Sample, click here: Beyond the Horizon
Joyce
Scarbrough, Author of True Blue Forever, writes this about Beyond the
Horizons
Doug Boren is ruthless. It wasn't enough for him to
craft this epic Civil War novel with the skill of a master storyteller or for
him to move and enlighten his readers with the multitude of rich historical
content he injected into this saga. No, he ruthlessly makes his defenseless
readers feel as if they are witnessing first-hand the brutality of war,
imprisonment, massacres, and the cruelty that dwells in the hearts of evil men.
And yet, amidst all the blood and gore and horrors of battle, he manages to
introduce us to characters who love and care for each other so deeply that it
sustains them throughout their lives. It's amazing that the same book that
contains scenes that horrify and repulse can also contain scenes that abound
with tender emotions, sensitivity and an appreciation of life's true pleasures
and the beauty to be found all around us.
The main characters of Mace, Tom, George, and Louie are the embodiment of the
spirit that made the American West wild, but there is nothing typical about any
of them. They have other dimensions that are wonderfully illustrated in their
relationships with each other, with the men they meet and respect, and with the
women they love. We rage with them, laugh with them, suffer, cry and love with
them as they travel over the untamed landscapes of their lives. Mr. Boren even
makes us feel for the vile, despicable character of Chactoke--a renegade Apache
who is almost evil incarnate. We hate him fiercely for the horrific things he
does, but we know that even he has suffered in his past and can't help feeling
for him at times.
This is not a feel-good book to curl up with and savor--it's too real for that.
But when you finish reading it, you will have gained a better understanding of
just how much our forefathers endured for us. Sometimes, ruthlessness is a good
thing.
