Tainted Trail

Tainted Trail - Wen Spencer The second Ukiah Oregon novel, picking up straight after the first one.
Even more suspense keeps the pages turning.
It suffers a bit from going over events from book one (Alien Taste) at several points as a recap or for people who picked this book up first.

Otherwise, it explains a lot more about the Pack and Ontongard, and where Ukiah fits in between them.
Focuses on fewer characters this time, and more personally connected with Ukiah to expand on his background.
