Nothing is more personal than a knife, and when it's against a skilled Indian, nothing more deadly...the question: for which one? Jim Steel is again in Chiricahua country, now if he can only get out. With a Yellow Boy .44/.40 in his saddle scabbard, and a Centennial New Model Army on his hip, also in .44/.40 he is ready for bear, or a bevy of Indians. And it's a good thing, as they're coming.

Since his first novel was published in 1968 Chet Cunningham has written and had published nearly 300 works of fiction and 15 non fiction books. He is equally adept on horseback, in the techno-thriller arena, or recounting military history. His output includes 125 westerns and 50 men's action/adventure novels.
It's short enough that the good bits really outweigh the bad ones. I really liked the of premise of not being able to travel during the day in Chiracauhua territory, having to build blinds to conceal the horses and cooking with smokeless fires. But, the character work is rough and the plot is only semi-entertaining.
