About this audiobook
The canyons and mesas of the Pecos region conceal deadly threats, from Apache raiding parties to the unforgiving desert sun. A group of frontiersmen must stay constantly on guard, reading the land for signs of danger to avoid ambush. The tension is relentless, as the environment itself seems designed to trap the unwary. It is a gripping survival story set in one of the wildest corners of the Southwest.
