Description

CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2016. First Edition . Trade Paperback. Fine. 6" x 9. 312 Pages. As new book with no defects noted and interior text pages are near flawless. Tis better to be frozen cold than Apache kilt. Death is a promise. Scintillating action. Snarky dialogue. Sensational scenery. Insightful characterization. Sexy, undying love. Chaa and her handsome hunks lead us on another adventure, straight into the target zone. In 1885, Arizona Territory is a raw, brutal, unforgiving frontier. Our well armed Apache heroes decide to take the train out there to visit family. Maybe because the Apache are everyone's whipping boys. A spinoff of Barbara Nevilles Spirit Animal series, with characters that longtime readers will recognize. Join our favorite intrepid adventurers as they travel through the Wild West on, and off, the Arizona and New Mexico Railroad. You'll see the wild, untamed American Southwest at its best, and worst. This historic western thriller takes place in Arizona Territory, USA and the state of Sonora, Mexico. An entire way of life is being ripped asunder, destroyed, crushed under the boot heel of what we call civilization. The railroad, while a great improvement in speed of access for both people and goods to the area, is yet another wrench in the toolbox of the white man in their war against the Apache. Geronimo and his band have been starved off the reservation by crooked Indian agents. Traditionally hunters, these noble, nomadic people are fighting for their lives, families and their very way of life. Mining is booming, which is the impetus for the extension of the railroad through this part of the country. Tombstone and Bisbee, mining boom towns, are growing like weeds. Other towns have been burned out, the pioneers run out, and generally destroyed by Apache raids and Civil War sympathies. The southern transcontinental railroad route in the US is complete. An offshoot, called the Arizona and New Mexico Railroad, connects it to a Mexican rail line that runs south to Guaymas, Sonora on the Sea of Cortez. The new railroad has far reaching effects on the economies and cultures of both places. Tomahawk Trail is a new take on the Spirit Animal series. Follow our intrepid heroes through a, sometimes life threatening, multi-cultural maze.

About the author

2015 NaNoWriMo winner and prolific author; Arizona rancher and outdoorswoman, Barbara Neville, writes what she knows. Her future worlds are set firmly in a longstanding tradition of caring for the land while living off of it. Cowhand, rancher, adventurer, prospector, artist and author of numerous books in the Spirit Animal series featuring Annie Many Horses. Neville writes of a speculative future, and the historic past, based on her real life experience. Her cats attend her writing sessions, preferring to lay on the keyboard. She ranches with goats, horses, guineas, peafowl, chickens, turkeys and Pyrenees livestock guardian dogs. Her dogs, goats and horses have fictional counterparts who appear in the pages of her books.She has led an unusual life of adventure, much of it off-grid. Barb is descended from a long line of adventurous folk. Cowboys, ranchers, prospectors, settlers, homesteaders and more. She carries on the long tradition of taking the road less traveled. Her fictional world draws heavily on her own life and the people, places and experiences of previous generations. Barb has been a rancher, horse trainer, cowhand, prospector, construction laborer, tree planter and a deckhand on Alaskan fishing boats. She has lived at various remote locations around the West. She grew up an Air Force brat, living in such exotic locations as Spain and Hawaii. Thus she learned Spanish and Hawaiian Pidgin. Barb also made a one-day round trip hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back afoot. Many other horseback, mountain ski touring, snowshoe and hiking backpack trips pepper her history. Also surfing and snorkeling in Hawaii. She milk her goats, makes her own cheese and enjoys pasture raised eggs. Best of all, she rides the world's greatest horses. One of whom made the cover of 'On the Rocks'.
