Straight Arrow #23

When General Crook convenes peace talks with Apache chiefs, the fanatical warchief Ganassee rejects any truce and leads young warriors on a devastating raid through the frontier—burning ranches, cutting telegraph lines, and leaving the undermanned Fort Despair nearly defenseless. Straight Arrow, riding with reformed renegades he's won over through tests of skill and strength, faces a choice: allow the Apache to continue their rampage, or rally the very tribes whose lands are being violated to stand against them. With settlers in peril and soldiers pinned down, the real test of whether Straight Arrow can forge a new path for his men has only just begun.

When Steve Adams and a woman named Nan become trapped on the prairie under gunfire from a ruthless band of rustlers led by Satan Slagle, their only hope for survival rests on an unexpected alliance—a Comanche war party arriving at just the right moment. Before the bullets start flying, Straight Arrow helped a young Comanche woman named Red Wing meet her intended husband, setting in motion the events that will decide everyone's fate. It's a frontier tale where a small act of kindness comes back around in the heat of battle.

Red Hawk arrives in the Everglades on his quest to meet the great Hiawatha, only to find himself caught between a spoiled young man named Alligator and the Seminole tribe he's meant to help broker peace with. When Red Hawk uncovers Alligator's plot to betray the village to an enemy warrior named Long Spear, he must race through the swamps to warn the tribe before dawn—and the battle that follows will test whether a man of peace can truly keep his word when violence surrounds him.

Steve Adams lives a dangerous secret: by day he's a respected rancher, but as Straight Arrow, he's a full-blooded Comanche warrior. When a railroad company ignores a sacred treaty and begins laying tracks through Comanche territory, war erupts—and Steve faces an impossible choice between the life he's built with his white friends and his duty to his people. Racing against time and his own failing strength, Straight Arrow uncovers evidence that could stop the bloodshed before it begins.
