Publisher's summary

A nearly dead castaway is pulled from the Pacific Ocean in the fishing grounds near Diamond Head. He is obviously a stranger to the islands. Why was he tied hand and foot? Who has tried to kill him? Doctor William Goode treats the young man only to have him escape into the Ko'olau Mountains. The man was part of a crew of Islamic pirates who have been raiding the islands, and killing villagers. Across the Pacific, William's old shipmate, Donovan, finds himself entrenched in the Mexican-American War, accused of murdering an American officer, and is on the run from the Mexican borderlands to the high Sierras. Donovan picks the wrong wagon train to travel with crossing the mountains in a massive blizzard to get to the California coast where he hopes to return to his friends in Hawaii. In the tradition of the first three books in the Hawaiians series, the action never stops as the familiar characters cross deserts, brave snowbound peaks, and sail through Pacific storms to meet in a stunning conclusion. The beauty of the islands, the history of the age, the harshness of 1840's American West are all fully depicted in this next tale from the popular Hawaiians series.
