Excerpt from The Bad Man: A Novel

Looking back now, after so many months of struggle and foreboding, he wondered how he had ever had the high courage to come to this strange country. Had he been a few years older he would not have started forth - he was sure of that now. But the flame of youth was in him, the sure sense that he could conquer where others had miserably failed, and, like all virile young Americans, he had love of adventure, and zest for the unknown was in his blood.
