A Poison Spreads: Jack Seeks the Antidote - Paperback

by Mark Greathouse (Author)

In this thrilling Young Adult Western Fiction adventure, the seventh chapter of The Frontier Chronicles rides hard into the heart of danger, where a young cowboy's mission collides with a nation's rising unrest.

At just twenty years old, Jack O'Toole has already survived more than most men twice his age. But now, in 1859 Texas, as a poison of hatred spreads across the land, Jack's bold crusade is under siege from all sides.

Slave catchers are closing in, tensions with local tribes are ready to explode, and a vigilante mob nearly ends his journey before it begins. Still, Jack won't quit. Guided by his deep faith and cowboy grit, he fights to keep his promise-to train his ragtag followers, build trust between enemies, and prove that courage and compassion are stronger than fear.

As the stakes rise, Jack faces his biggest questions yet: Can he keep the dream alive without losing himself? Is there truly a place for peace in a land pulling itself apart?

A Poison Spreads: Jack Seeks the Antidote is a coming-of-age Western full of action, heart, and purpose-where loyalty is tested, leadership is earned, and freedom is the most dangerous trail of all.
