"The Bear: The Rising" a tale of greed, revenge, murder and family. A sweeping multi-generational saga of California's birth conquistadors, gold rush fortunes, and the immigrants and outlaws who built an empire from nothing. The first novel in Kerr's ambitious four-book series, "The Bear: The Rising" weaves together an Irish refugee, a Chinese immigrant seeking his fortune, and a Native American whose lineage predates them all, into one sprawling tapestry of the American West. www.johnkerrbooks.com and Amazon.
