Description

As winter settles over the Colorado wastelands, a chance encounter stirs old memories and dangerous truths. What begins as a day like any other – feeding travelers, tending mules, becomes a journey into the past for both Tuba and the gruff trader who raised him. Over coffee, cigarettes, and trade-talk, a story unfolds: of desperate flight, of a baby rescued from violence, and a man who left behind a darker world to build something worth defending.

Long, Cold Ride is a richly told tale of quiet resilience, forged identity, and reluctant fatherhood in a fractured world. At once intimate and epic, it introduces the stark, lived-in setting of the Iron Way – where firelight and steel stand against chaos, and where every traveler has a story worth trading.
