TEDDY ROOSEVELT and his hunting companions battle a creature unlike anything they’ve encountered.
The year is 1888. Teddy Roosevelt is twenty-nine, vigorous, and an avid hunter. Donning buckskins and carrying a repeating rifle, he’s tracked and killed nearly every big game species in the continental United States. Now, he’s after caribou. They say the last herd roams the high meadows of the Idaho Territory’s Selkurk Mountains. Determined to fulfill his lifelong dream, Roosevelt organizes a hunting party and travels deep into the unforgiving wilderness.
But things aren’t what they seem. This isn’t your typical Bigfoot story. In a desperate final confrontation, Teddy Roosevelt’s goblin will be revealed. If you’re a fan of suspenseful stories that blend history and adventure with folklore and myth, then you won’t want to miss this riveting novel.
