True West Magazine
Avenging Victorio has received a rave review in the October 2007 issue of True West Magazine.
Colonel Edward Hatch,
commanding the Military District of New Mexico
Territory at Santa Fe, learns his constant harassment
of the Apache war chief Victorio pays off south of the
border. Mexican rifles wipe out the raider and his band
October 15, 1880. But, another Apache chief decides on
revenge. In just six weeks the reputedly decrepit Nana
leads forty warriors across the Territory killing over
fifty Americans. Then, an officer trailing Nana finds
fifteen million in stolen gold in one of Victorio's
mountain caches but is killed after informing the
Colonel. Though planning on becoming the richest
retired officer in the army, Hatch is finally forced to
take to the field after Nana. Boarding a
southbound military train he heads for Fort Selden.
There, fate awaits him. News that Nana has vanished
completely reaches Hatch, but he remains unaware of
vengeful warriors who prepare to salute his coach with
dynamite. This
swiftly moving tale of death and revenge has long
needed to be told.
