Fanatastic Book! Barbara Hambly is one of my favourite authors and with good reason. Her Benjamin January novels are wonderful. This book is different than the previous in this series. Up to now all the books have been set in early 1800 New Orleans. For those that don't know Benjamin January is a free black man living in New Orleans. Always looking over his shoulder as he tries to live his life because there are so many that don't believe he's a free black man and think instead that he is an escaped slave. In this book Benjamin, his friends Abishag Shaw and Hannibal Sefton head west. January is going to help his friend Shaw, find the person who killed his younger brother. They find themselves in a summer camp full of fur traders and trappers smack dab in the middle of the Rocky Mountains. Ms. Hambly's description of life in 1837 in a trapper's summer rendevous is so realistic.
