The mountains explode with war in the fourth Texas Anthem Western adventure from the author of Shadow Walker .
The captain was a madwoman with a scattergun. The soldiers were a whore, a surveyor's assistant, a writer, a crusty old Irishman, two murderous brothers, a criminal, and a bounty hunter. And the only way out of the mountains was on a frigid river that flowed toward the Missouri-a river running with blood.
Texas-born Cole Anthem was the bounty hunter. He had followed an outlaw right into the middle of a major Native American uprising and a battle that turned into a slaughter. Now Cole and the other survivors of a raging Cheyenne war are taking the only chance they have: riding a woman's keelboat toward safety. But up and down the Rogue, a glory-mad chief hasn't given up. His warriors are armed and waiting-to spill the white men's blood . . .
