Flight of the Hawk is a two-book historical fiction series set on the early American frontier. The River (2018) and The Plains (2019) follow characters through the wilderness of the pre-settlement West, drawing on the landscape and cultures that Gear knows from his archaeological career.
The books combine frontier adventure with the detailed sense of place that characterizes Gear’s best historical work. The natural world is as much a character as the people, with the river and plains environments shaping the stories from start to finish.
