Comanche Trail (Tony Hillerman's Frontier Ser. #7)
by Will CampAll the naked soldiers were dead and dying. Only the one upriver was unscathed, and he was firing his pistol. Once, twice, three times the gun fired. The enemy pistol exploded a fourth and fifth time at others, then the soldier aimed it at Crow Feather. Crow Feather gritted his teeth and nudged his mount with alternating knees so the horse followed a crooked path toward the soldier. Bang! Crow Feather smiled. The sixth shot had missed. Now he would count coup upon the soldier. Feats of bravery were many among the Comanche, but not even killing and scalping an enemy warrior could compare with touching a live enemy. Crow Feather charged the soldier. He was a brave man, for he did not run.... The soldier never flinched, even though he was almost a dead man. Behind the bluecoat, Crow Feather saw the warriors of his band watching. Crow feather saw no fear in his enemy's eyes. He saw only courage. The two men stared at each other. Then Crow Feather screamed. Instantly the warriors who weren't taking scalps converged on the brave soldier. Five warriors jumped from their horses and swarmed to him. "What shall we do with him?" Gives Gifts asked. "Stake him to the ground," Crow Feather said. "Later we shall torture him."

Known as Plenty Man to the Comanches, Honore serves as ransom negotiator for captives among the Indians. As if his life wasn't in danger enough, Honore has offered his services to the New Mexico Volunteers in the Civil War. But as Honore's luck would have it, he's in the same unit as Luther Sheffield, a man whose grudge against Greenwood knows no boundaries, even though they are fighting on the same side. Leaving behind his beautiful Arapaho bride, Honore rides out, joining his legendary friend, Kit Carson, as a scout. But he is swept into more action than he bargained for—heavy combat in the battles of Val Verde Ford and Glorieta Pass plus Indian attacks—all the while watching over his shoulder for the ruthless Luther Sheffield. Worried that he may soon be ordered to take up arms against his own adoptive tribe, the Comanches, Honore resigns as Kit's scout to return to his tribe. But Honore's halcyon days among the Indians cannot last forever, and he knows that eventually his old cavalry unit will come to attack his village. Torn between a nation on the rise and his own adoptive culture, Plenty Man is forced to lead the fight for Comanche freedom against his old friend, the great Kit Carson, in a battle at a remote place in the Texas Panhandle called Adobe Walls. But in the end, it becomes difficult to tell enemy from ally, and Plenty Man knows his loyalty to the Indians may cost him everything – his beautiful wife, his freedom to return to white civilization, his friendship with Kit, and even his very life.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
