About this ebook
LONE MAN, SAVAGE LAND
Chip Morgan and his kin knew life would be harsh on the Texas frontier. Yet they never thought the Comanches could be so rough... Seeming to come out of nowhere, Chief Red Hand's men swooped down in clouds of dust to steal Pa's cattle, raid Ma's garden, and push the ranch toward ruin. Young Chip vowed he'd stand his ground at any cost—until painted braves attacked, butchering his neighbors and murdering the girl he loved.
Driven from their beloved home, Chip and his folks head west with big hopes for a fresh start. But the canyons of Colorado are cold with peril. Every crevice hides Ute warriors—as hell-bent on recapturing their land as the Comanches. Soon violence and loss force Chip to cross the line from caution to abandon. On a quest for vengeance, he will find a place where wild forests grow thick with fear, raging rivers run red with blood... and youthful recklessness turns to true grit.
Praise for Jory Sherman
"One of the premier storytellers of the American West."—Don Coldsmith
"Jory Sherman is a national treasure."—Loren D. Estleman
"An outstanding storyteller."—Tulsa World
