The Silver Yoke
Concluding novel in the Valediction
For Revenge saga of Jethro Spring, featuring
the life of a one time army interpreter charged
with the murder of the officer responsible for the death of the interpreter's parents. Set
once more in southwestern Colorado, The Silver
Yoke revisits the tragedy of Gunnar's
Mine, this time for different reasons. Once again,
Jethro, known in Colorado as Jason Frost, throws himself at the gigantic mining
octopus responsible for the death of his friend,
Gunnar Einarssen, the original owner of Jethro Spring's valuable gold mine. This
time, however, it's not an unequal battle -- like
those from the fugitive's past -- and his enemy's mighty Empire is rocked to its core.
The question becomes who will survive.

6th book in the Valediction for Revenge series
The titanic struggle between
mining behemoths portrayed above and below ground have their historical
parallels, particularly in Butte, Montana, where Marcus Daly and his
powerful Anaconda Mining Company clashed with the financial power and
political aspirations of a stop-at-nothing William Andrews Clark.
... It will be poetic justice to ruin Amalgamated and Ellis Burroughs, the
man who nearly destroyed Jethro and married the only woman he ever loved.
This novel [The Silver Yoke] has lots of action, a terrific villain you love to hate,
the smell of dust and dynamite, and a man sworn to bleed his enemies, not
of blood but of money, the only thing they love.
