Straight Arrow #1

When Osage warriors raid an Army supply train near Fort Despair, a reckless new colonel orders a retaliatory strike against the wrong tribe—threatening to shatter the fragile peace on the frontier. Steve Adams, the rancher who guards the Broken Bow spread, recognizes the danger and transforms into Straight Arrow, the mysterious Comanche warrior, to race the colonel's troops to the Kiowa village and prevent a bloodshed that could ignite the entire territory.

When Captain Josh Crayley's paddlewheeler, the River Queen, breaks free from her moorings near Sawtooth Junction, a young stranger named Steve Adams helps save her—but his encounter with two suspicious hardened gunmen suggests trouble ahead. When those same men rob the Willow Bend stage, Steve transforms into Straight Arrow to track them down, only to discover they've taken hostages aboard the River Queen itself. Now Straight Arrow must stop the thieves before the boat drifts toward the roaring rapids below.

When Apache war drums summon the Mescalero to vengeance, Straight Arrow discovers a scheme far darker than a simple kidnapping—Jonas Tate of the Oxbow Ranch is holding Chief Hodenao prisoner to provoke the tribe into attacking innocent settlers and seizing the land for himself. Riding as the Comanche warrior, Straight Arrow must expose Tate's treachery and prevent bloodshed between two peoples before Tate's plan ignites a war that destroys everything in its path.
