A brand new Caleb Johnson adventure from Charles Ray! Caleb takes off for a solitary hunting trip in the mountains. After a time, he heads down to the lowlands to find a settlement so he can replenish his supplies. Just outside the tiny town of Mt. Olive, he witnesses a young man being forcefully taken away from a farm. The farmers, Jake and Melissa Hawthorne, inform Caleb that the boy has been taken to work in a mine to pay off a ‘tax’ being levied on them by the man who controls the town, Malachi Brown. The very idea that someone could be taken for forced labor enrages Caleb. The hunting trip is forgotten. He now has a mission. Free the people of Mt. Olive. And he’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done.

I've been writing since my teens. In addition to writing for several newspapers and magazines in the US, Europe, Asia, and Africa, I've written two books on leadership and a number of fiction works. I'm also a published poet, photographer, and artist. I write in several genres, reflecting my broad reading tastes. I spent 20 years in the army, retiring in 1982 and becoming a diplomat. I've worked in about 10 countries and traveled to about 30 more, mining each for material to write about.
