#paperback#fiction#classics#vintage#wildwest#thriller#adventure#war Thrilling adventure in a magnificent wild west won with blood, kept with courage...and seared with the flames of battle and desire. Civil War ravaged the East, but Confederate cannons soon aimed westward toward Union outposts along the raging Rio Grande. Stout stockades and long rifles prepared for battle, but ramparts alone could not protect a beautiful woman from a ruthless spy, or keep an assassin from gunning for hero scout Ted Henderson. Now, as crack Southern troops marched relentlessly forward, a nation's destiny lay with the band of rough riders galloping to stop them, led by a man...and a legend: Kit Carson, trailblazer, Indian fighter, and Old Glory's bravest champion. Chilling Indian ambushes deepened the stain of blood across this embattled frontier. And as intrepid pioneers claimed their place in the West, war whoops struck a terror that must be stilled. Though the love of sensuous Indian princess reached out to claim a handsome Cavalry officer's heart, peace would only come with total conquest and a new beginning for those who loved this rugged land.
