The War Ahead - Part II T. J. Johnson

Edited Revised Edition 2010: Josh and Zeke's penchant for adventure, passion for love, and a monumental fear for their lives, have caused them to flee the family plantation in coastal South Carolina with no destination in mind, only a direction, to head west to live on the frontier in a land where no one knows who they are. Lacking experience in a wilderness life, and having little knowledge of dealing with and defending themselves from the highly experienced Indian warriors, they willingly leave their eastern civilization in hopes of finding a place so remote, they could finally be alone to allow their relationship to grow. Only the power of their love gives each man the strength, determination, and fortitude to endure all that the wilderness could fling in their faces. Their life and love inspire new friends, as they often use their skills learned in war to put their lives on the line to help total strangers survive as well. They learn how to hunt wildlife for food, and track the ferocious Kaga Ozuye demon warriors to ensure the survival of their new friend Yuma. With the help of an old ally from their past, and John Bridger-brother of famed mountain man and explorer James Bridger, they battle renegade former confederate soldiers, and attacks by a vicious Sioux tribe. They sought paradise, but soon learn that finding a haven for love is a constant battle they must fight for, and they would do so, because they would let no man, beast, or wild Indian stop them. No matter how tough the fight, their love for each other still remained supremely more important than all that the world could throw at them.
