A Rambling Man

Lucas Cain, Book 1

By: Robert Vaughan

Narrated by: Michael Butler Murray

Bestselling author Robert Vaughan is back with another riveting adventure sure to please fans of all ages.

Captured in the last year of the Civil War, Lucas Cain becomes a POW in the infamous Andersonville prison. There he learns how to survive the cruelty of the Confederate guards, and the perfidy of a few who are prisoners themselves.

When the war ends, Lucas and almost 1,500 others crowd aboard the riverboat Sultana, which has a capacity of just under 400 passengers. After an unforeseen event occurs, Lucas finds himself further adrift.

Returning home to Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Lucas becomes a police officer. At the time, Cape Girardeau policemen received no salary, but were paid for specific tasks, including receiving bounties for prisoners captured. Lucas also finds an unexpected love interest in a journalist who works for the Cape Girardeau newspaper.

Tragedy strikes, and Lucas finds himself no longer able to remain in Cape Girardeau. He begins a western drift, rambling without a specific destination. He becomes a bounty hunter, and is very successful at it, eventually finding an opportunity to settle accounts with an old enemy.

LUCAS CAIN

This is a great start to this series about Lucas Cain. Lucus comes home from the war and becomes a police man and that turns into my favorite genre a (Bounty Hunter). There is several different adventures he has. He Meets different people and becomes a very good fast shot. I didn't like the part about his wife and child dying but I guess that was important for him to start moving west and becoming a rambling man. He helps a woman keep her ranch at the end of the book and there is some good gun fighting in that part. He said s also after some people that did him wrong when he was a prisoner of war. This is a five star book and I'll definitely go to the next book and see where Lucus goes to next. Michael Butler Murray does a great job narrating this book.
