In his travels, he heard another chilling story that the Mormons had found a way into the Valley and carried young Fay away forcefully. He had to either organize a rescue or forget getting his beloved Larkin forever. In a bid to save the girl, Shefford embarked on a series of journeys full of hardship, treachery, narrow escapes, and mixed joy."--Publisher's description.

The Rainbow Trail brings closure to the novel Riders of the Purple Sage. It answers the question, What happened to Jane and Lassiter? But more importantly, it opens up a new series of events and characters that a reader can identify with and become emotionally involved with. Zane Grey knew how to get the reader hooked and then keep him on the line to the finish, just like he knew how to fish for world record sharks in the ocean. With the back drop being the desert and plateau and canyon country of Utah and Arizona which Zane Grey could so vividly and memorably describe in words no other author has managed to emulate, he tells a story so unique and compelling that I am sure when it was published no one could resist to read it, especially since it brought Riders to a conclusion. Standing alone, it holds up just as well today. A defrocked minister comes west after hearing the story of Fay Larkin, and Jane and Lassiter, from two of his parishioners and decides to hunt for them, and in so doing find himself and his God. The twists and turns he faces in his search make for good mystery and good romance. I proudly recommend it.

The Gold Standard of Westerns
I love Zane Grey westerns and this is one of his best. His character development is far beyond that of most of the genre and his description is beautiful. His books are a feast to read when compared to most modern-day writing.
