Having returned from the city one day, the hero of the novel “The Farmer’s Revenge,” John Saxon, sees that everything he created over eight years of hard work: the house, the barn, the cattle, the trees—everything was destroyed by fire. And his seemingly imminent marriage to golden-haired Mary Wilson becomes a dream again. The thirst for revenge turns him, a peaceful farmer, into a merciless killer. Like a hunter, he will now pursue his prey until he pays it off in full.
