Man & Beast is the first book of The Savage Land series by Michael Jensen. I had listened to the second book, Man & Monster, on Audible. I found the first book in the series that I had missed, Man & Beast. The historical part of the book is very thorough. The descriptions of the people, what they wore, what they ate, and how they lived is phenomenal. The story focuses on John Chapman who is the worse candidate to survive a winter in the wilds of America. He finds Daniel McQuay, a man with a cabin and food, who agrees to take him in. There is a male/male romance involved but it is a romance without emotions, only physically. And then the author throws the biggest twist that I had not seen coming. It was excellent. The book is very good. I highly recommend it for those who enjoy historical fiction, thriller, mystery, and a touch of horror all stirred together.
I received a copy of the book when I joined Mr. Jensen's newsletter list. There was no expectation of a review for receiving the book.
