Exploits of Daniel Boone #6

Daniel Boone returns to Boonesborough to find the settlement besieged by a string of mysterious raids that have vanished supplies and lives—blamed on the Shawanese, but Boone suspects a darker truth. When he’s ambushed in the wilderness and discovers boot prints that don’t belong to Native warriors, he realizes the real threat may be hiding among the settlers themselves. As tensions rise and evidence points to betrayal, Boone must uncover the source of the attacks before the frontier descends into chaos.

Daniel Boone and his companion Sam infiltrate the frontier under the guise of a wounded Native American and his silent companion, navigating a river teeming with hostile warriors to reach Fort Montmorency. As they evade detection and outwit scouts, Boone uses deception and quick thinking to slip past enemy lines, determined to sabotage the British supply depot before the next attack.

Daniel Boone sets out on a perilous journey to warn Chief He-Who-Smiles of a deadly plot by the treacherous war chief Ke-Mah, who plans to eliminate the peace-loving leader and his family. With He-Who-Smiles’ sons in danger and Ke-Mah’s forces hunting them across the frontier, Boone must guide the boys to safety while also racing to intercept the ambush set for their father.

In a tense standoff, Lieutenant Joshua Ross is captured by the Shawnee war chief Yellow Snake, who plans to execute him by arrow squad in a brutal display of vengeance. As Ross faces his fate, he devises a desperate plan to escape, using the element of surprise and an unseen ally in the underbrush to turn the tide.
