Praise for this book
"Carter's vivid portrayal of life and death in the U.S. Southwest of 1868 and his understanding of his characters-particularly the Apache-and the code by which they lived give immediacy to his superior western fiction."
Good old-fashioned blood and thunder? Yea, verily, and in the very best tradition of story telling . . . Mr. Carters characters are your friends and your enemies and you care intensely about what happens to them.
