Great read! Damn, can't believe I have not heard of this author before. Extraordinary knowledge of the Native Americans & the old US Calvary. I will definitely continue the saga!

A good western
I like a good story and this was a good story. The characters were interesting to follow. The storyline was like many western a clash of cultures. One the one side you have the cavalry and the other side you have the Comanches. Both sides are presented as neither the bad guys or the good guys. The main character, Colt Harding, is driven to find his daughter taken by the Comanches. To tell more of that story would spoil it for the reader. There is a parallel story in the book also this has to do with a stolen shipment of gold eagles. One thing more there is a reference to Comanche soup in the story that added a note of why all Indians didn't get along. My only problem was the editing needed to be watched as there were several typos in the story, but they were easy to figure out. In closing this story put in mind of the Searched another good western.

Formatting and cliffhanger
Those are the main drawbacks when reading this. An army officer loses his family in an Indian raid, and you never get an answer or even satisfaction for the horrendous death suffered by his wife. The formatting has characters substituting for letters and you can make it through only because you know what it SHOULD say. Skip this one unless you plan to read the series.

Very good
It reads like an old time western novel.
The author describes soldiers habits in an isolated frontier fort.
Continue the good work. I look forward to future works

Another Great Western Writer!
Cunningham tells a good story that begins on a solid foundation and picks up speed quickly, never slowing to the end. I already ordered the next in his series.

Very good story.
I hated for it to end. It's well written, the story developed well and well worth reading. I highly recommend to all lovers of Westerns.

Good read
Enjoyed the storyline and enough action was present to maintain my interest. Looking forward to reading the second book in this series.

Chet Cunningham's story of Comanche Indians, stolen gold, and murder at a small fort known as Fort Comfort. An easy read.
