Publisher's Synopsis
Tomahawk Trail Description "Tis better to be frozen cold than Apache kilt." Death is a promise. Scintillating action. Snarky dialogue. Sensational scenery. Insightful characterization. Sexy, undying love. Cha'a and her handsome hunks lead us on another adventure, straight into the target zone. In 1885, Arizona Territory is a raw, brutal, unforgiving frontier. Our well armed Apache heroes decide to take the train out there to visit family. Why the heck not? Maybe because the Apache are everyone's whipping boys. A spinoff of Barbara Neville's Spirit Animal series, with characters that longtime readers will recognize. Join our favorite intrepid adventurers as they travel through the Wild West on, and off, the Arizona and New Mexico Railroad. You'll see the wild, untamed American Southwest at its best, and worst. This historic western thriller takes place in Arizona Territory, USA and the state of Sonora, Mexico. Genocide is always an abomination, but there's something unequivocally disturbing when the victims are family. An entire way of life is being ripped asunder, destroyed, crushed under the boot heel of what we, ironically, call civilization. The railroad, while a great improvement in speed of access for both people and goods to the area, is yet another wrench in the toolbox of the white man in their war against the Apache. Geronimo and his band have been starved off the reservation by crooked Indian agents. Traditionally hunters, these noble, nomadic people are fighting for their lives, families and their very way of life. Mining is booming, which is the impetus for the extension of the railroad through this part of the country. Tombstone and Bisbee, mining boom towns, are growing like weeds. Other towns have been burned out, the pioneers run out, and generally destroyed by Apache raids and Civil War sympathies. The southern transcontinental railroad route in the US of A is complete. An offshoot, called the Arizona and New Mexico Railroad, connects it to a Mexican rail line that runs south to Guaymas, Sonora on the Sea of Cortez. The new railroad has far reaching effects on the economies and cultures of both places. Tomahawk Trail is a new take on the Spirit Animal series. Follow our intrepid heroes through a, sometimes life threatening, multi-cultural maze.
