Description

Set shortly after World War I, the novel follows Daren Lane, a soldier returning home, as he faces the harsh realities of reintegration and the scars of war. Reuniting with fellow veterans Blair Maynard and Red Payson, he confronts alienation, shifting relationships, and societal indifference. The story explores sacrifice, longing, and the struggle to reclaim identity in a world transformed by conflict.

Author

Zane Grey (1872–1939) was the great popular mythmaker of the American frontier — one of the first authors to turn adventure fiction into a national industry. Obsessed with the real West, he travelled widely through Arizona and Utah and brought back stories of outlaws, ranchers, gunmen, and the women and landscapes that shaped their fate.
