Jason Fury takes the reigns of the wagon train and shows great leadership and courage in getting the pilgrims to their destination, despite all that has happened, but it’s not easy. After the attack which stole his father from him, Jason has to battle torrential rains which flood creeks, broken axels and wheels, Indians, and a conspiring father/son team who would rather see themselves as leaders of the wagon trail. Not to mention wrestling with his own heart and the growing love he has for one girl—should he leave her and go back East to attend college like he planned, or stay out West and begin a family?
Overall, A Town Called Fury is fast-paced, highly satisfying, and is a lot like the “Oregon Trail” computer game come to life. Looking forward to the rest in the series.
