Judgment

Gus has been training Wylie as a tracker for seven years, and they have a friendly bet going. Then a twist of fate causes something to go horribly wrong, and Gus get seriously injured, perhaps to the point of death. Young Wylie must brave the unforgiving terrain and ride for help, using all that Gus has taught him to make it back in time. He’s been told never to go to the Apache camp, but he has no other choice if he wants to save Gus; despite his fear, he must try to get the Indians to help him.

In Judgment, Morgan J. Blake details the lengths to which someone will go to save a friend’s life, even if it means endangering their own. Wylie is creatively and fondly crafted; he is forced to put his knowledge, bravery, and judgment to the ultimate test. Morgan J. Blake combines a realistic Western setting with the dilemma of a tough choice to craft this heartwarming tale of friendship. Judgment is a diamond in the rough and a poignant look at Western life.
