Sitka - Softcover
BLOOD AND ICE
Majestically it rose from the icy waters, the gateway to the awesome wilderness of Alaska. Sitka drew all brand of adventurers, con men, criminals, and pioneers—men such as trail-tough, battle-hardened Jean LaBarge. He left the swamps of the Susquehanna behind for the rugged beauty—and deadly challenges—of this frozen frontier. But the empire-hungry Russians had already established a foothold in Sitka and they wouldn’t give it up without a fierce and treacherous struggle that stretched from San Francisco to the palaces of St. Petersburg. Now Jean faces the most dangerous fight of his life: a fight for a passionate woman and the right to claim Alaska for America.

From the Publisher:
Majestically it rose from the icy waters, the gateway to the awesome wilderness of Alaska. Even as he grew up hunting the dangerous swampland of the Susquehanna, Jean LaBarge felt drawn by the strength and beauty of that distant land. Now a battle-hardened adventurer, Jean boldly faces the dangers of Russian-owned Sitka. Those Russians who will violently protect their foothold on the continent move swiftly to destroy Jean--just as they have threatened Helena, the woman who challenged their treachery, the woman Jean desires. Fired by Helena's courage and by the call of his country, Jean is ready for a fight--to win Alaska for America.
