ICE: Prelude to the Navarre Link
A horse squealing in frustration sounded from beneath the white surface. Four black legs flailed and kicked, sending snow flying into the air, as the downed horse fought to regain its feet. The legs continued to kick, digging furrows into the snow, until finally, they disappeared and there was a heartbeat of silence. The next thing to appear was the snow-covered black head, ears pinned back and eyes rolling white with determination.

This novella is the prelude to a longer book, which I am now looking forward to immensely. Brauneis creates a solid sense of place -- the opening scenes, of a pair of outlaws fleeing a posse on horseback, through blizzard conditions, is so vivid I could imagine myself there. Jack and Leon, outlaws but not truly bad men, stumble across a ranch and meet a family whose welcome shows them a new way of life, but all too soon reality closes back in . . . The author's clear understanding of horses adds to the sense of time and place. Fans of the old Alias Smith and Jones tv series will enjoy this, as well anyone who likes action, adventure, and the possibility of redemption.

This author has presented us with a sympathetic pair of anti-heroes, and given them a compelling storyline as they seek shelter with a warm and generous family who don't know they are wanted. The posse hunting them don't know they are trying for amnesty either and are determined to bring them in. Vivid descriptive language paints a world so real you can almost feel the ice and snow and a characterful horse brings the kind of light relief which could only have been written by someone who knows horses intimately. A wonderful read for fans of Westerns.
