Tye Watkins, chief of scouts at Fort Clark, Texas, has what he thought was an easy assignment--finding a pay wagon. The task turns into a nightmare in which he has to deal with the Vasquez gang and a determined group of Apache Indians, led by a fierce warrior named Tanza.

Tye is on his way back to Fort Clark from San Antonio where he had spent his honeymoon when he learns of more Apache trouble. A young buck by the name of Grey Owl is leading several other young Apaches and raising bloody hell along the border.

The third volume in the thrilling Tye Watkins series continues the exciting adventures of the Chief of Scouts of Fort Clark located at Brackettville, Texas.

This is the fourth book in the Tye Watkins series. Fort Clark was regarrisoned in 1866 and the history of Fort Clark was filled with clashes with the Apache, occasionally with the Comanche, and always with the bandit gangs that crossed freely back and forth across the Border, preying on the homesteaders. The Tye Wakins Series of books attempt to portray this danger. The stories center on Tye, who is Chief of Scouts at Clark in 1868. He is continually putting himself at risk trying to protect the homesteaders living in the area as well as keeping the troops he scouts for out of harms way.

Tye leads the soldiers away from camp to a spot about 30 yards away next to a ravine. Low clouds block what little light would have been provided by the Moon and stars. The darkness makes it perfect for the Apaches to move in close to the soldier's camp.

The mountain man is a special breed of man and to be successful he has to be one tough hombre willing to endure all kinds of hardships. This tale follows Shakespeare McDovitt, who survived hardships and dangers for more than 20 years.

This is the ninth book in the Tye Watkins series. This time Tye has taken on a new role, as a deputy U.S. Marshall. It follows his quest to hunt down Bloody Jack, a ruthless murderer and thief.
