Addison True (2 book series) Kindle Edition

Addison True (2 book series)

Kindle Edition

by Craig Savoye (Author)

From Book 1: [Addison True is ONE BOOK divided into TWO VOLUMES due to its length. It is NOT a single volume plus a sequel. Please see reviews for Volume 2 that reflect the opinions of those who had read the whole book.]
Addison True is an old school, rollicking western adventure ride--a sweeping, epic American saga. The historical novel follows the title character, a quintessential American hero, from Addy’s arrival in Gold Rush San Francisco in 1849, age 18, to guiding a winter-trapped wagon train down the back side of the Sierra, pioneering a stagecoach route through Apache territory, getting caught in the 1855 Plains war, serving as sheriff of Leavenworth during “bloody Kansas” days, Pony Express station keeper in Nebraska territory, to the Civil War, where he is a scout-turned-spy for Grant at Vicksburg, and he and a slave escape north from Mississippi to Ohio. There is a concluding chapter back on the Plains.
Addison True comes highly recommended:
"Just finished reading Addison True and loved it. I think you may have finally captured the elusive Great American Novel once and for all. It’s Herman Melville meets Larry McMurtry. Addy is a true western hero who reflects the zeitgeist—best and worst—of the American experience in the mid-1800s. His historically accurate experiences are told in page-turning fiction to document and foreshadow the great events and issues of his time. All told, Craig, I think you have a masterpiece here. It's extremely well written and documented, but more importantly, it's great entertainment!" Ron K., St. Louis, MO
"Addison True is a compelling page turner. The action is richly described but in a vernacular that intensifies as the scenes unfold, drawing the reader into the tale. I didn’t want to see it end but couldn’t wait to finish it. The story is full of adventure after adventure within character stories that are very real...all wrapped in a love story. It is a quick read but doesn’t skimp on detailing the times and places. I felt like I was there and learning along the way. This book will appeal to the adventure reader, action reader, and history buff. I’m ready to read another 1000 pages!" John W. Louisville, KY

Addison True: Volume 2

by Craig Savoye (Author)

4.6 579 4.6 on Goodreads 366 ratings

The saga continues… In the opening chapter of volume 2, Addy is sheriff of Leavenworth during “bloody Kansas” days. In chapter 7, he and Stogie operate a Pony Express station deep in the heart of lawless Nebraska territory. In chapter 8, after some unfortunate incidents, Addison heads east to finally deliver Pard’s gold to his wife in Cincinnati…when the Civil War breaks out. Addy’s western skills quickly lead him to take on the role of army scout, but those duties eventually cross over into outright spying for Ulysses Grant, as well as Grenville Dodge. In chapter 9, Addy barely escapes the clutches of the rebels and finds himself in a symbiotic relationship with a runaway slave and his son. Using Addy’s knowledge of geography and survival skills and the runaway’s connection to slaves on the plantations they pass through, they head north. Chapter 10 concludes explosively with Addison back on the plains working as a scout for Dodge on the transcontinental railroad but looking to finally conclude his personal feud with Black Wolf. The Brule Chief has removed to Powder River country to fight with Red Cloud and Addy follows him there.
When you finish volume 2, if you love the book please consider not only writing a review but also posting a positive comment on Facebook or Tweeting your friends about it. I have been rejected by the New York publishing world dozens of times over a score of years. Help me sell a zillion downloads of Addy and thereby strike a blow at the Manhattan monolith while also sending them a message: if you don’t know what a good book is, the people will tell you.
