The year is 1883. The place is Idaho Territory. Zack Kotter and Able Pascal's pursuit of horse thieves takes them to a secluded mountain basin called, Elk Meadows. Neither expected what awaited them there but since they were friends and partners in a ranch, what affected one affected the other. It might have been different had Zack felt differently about things, but he didn't. Regardless, they were about to embark on an odyssey that would see a number of men die, possibly even them.

My name is John Hansen, and I am a Mathematics and Computer Science Professor working at Columbia University. Teaching helped me gain different perspectives of life.
Born and based in Ohio, I am a Ph.D. in Mathematical Science in the Midwestern State of the US. Earning a Ph.D. helped me widen my academic career opportunities, giving me analytical and problem-solving skills right after my graduation.
Fond of traveling, I have a natural curiosity to go where I haven't been because after a dull physical and mental routine, traveling helps me to rejuvenate my inner-self.
I enjoy reading too as it is the best method to utilize time, and I love the fact that a good-sized book provides me with many hours of valuable knowledge and sometimes entertainment.
I am an author whose guides on playing chess cover the rules and structure of chess tournaments. My passion for writing in all aspects of chess flows through the expert game teaching tactics I provide through my guides.
In my books, I aim to deliver the most lucid explanation of different facets of chess strategy and have always been intrigued by how chess is a touchstone as an indicator of extreme, logical intellect.
