Summary

In "Furze the Cruel," John Trevena crafts a vivid narrative that plunges into the desolate landscape of rural England, intertwining themes of vengeance, morality, and social justice. Written in a stark yet lyrical style, the novel captures the harsh realities of the human condition through the life of its protagonist, Furze, a man marked by his past yet propelled by an insatiable thirst for revenge against those who wronged him. Trevena's use of rich, evocative language and his ability to construct a psychologically complex character underscores the tension between personal desires and ethical dilemmas within the context of early 20th-century societal expectations. John Trevena, a notable figure of English literature in the early 1900s, draws inspiration from his own experiences in rural settings and his keen observation of human behavior. His background as a journalist and a novelist allowed him to cultivate a profound understanding of societal issues, which he seamlessly integrates into his storytelling. Trevena's exploration of rural life and moral conflict reveals his fascination with the darker aspects of human nature, making his work resonate deeply within the literary canon of the time. "Furze the Cruel" is a compelling read for anyone intrigued by the complexities of revenge and moral ambiguity. Trevena's masterful prose invites readers to reflect on the duality of human nature while providing a gripping narrative that is both thought-provoking and entertaining. This novel stands as a testament to the power of literature to dissect human emotions and societal constructs.

    When he's not at the local pond trying to catch an uncatchable catfish named Bubba, "Catfish" Charlie Tuttle can usually be found at the Lone Star Outpost with his old pal Deputy Brazos and the post's lovely owner Julia Claire. Catfish has a sweet spot for Julia, so he's more than a little worried when she announces she's taking a stagecoach to Tombstone, Arizona. The stage runs through hostile territory, including a treacherous valley crawling with outlaws. Sure enough, Julia's stagecoach never makes it to Tombstone . . . 
 
Even though Arizona is outside his jurisdiction, Catfish saddles up with Brazos and heads into outlaw country to find Julia. It's not long before they run into a gang of renegade soldiers led by a lunatic, Major Boneyard. Turns out Boneyard hid an arsenal of weapons on Julia's stagecoach, which he plans to sell to the Apache for gold. When their plan's revealed, the soldiers take Brazos hostage—leaving Catfish alone, outnumbered, and outgunned. Of course, that won't stop Catfish from trying to rescue his friends. Even if it leads him across the Mexican border—and into a full-blown war with the legendary El Serpiente, a poison-mean revolutionario who has a coiled serpent tattooed under his left eye . . .
