Chindi (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781737907510)

California, 1862. On the remote frontier in a distant corner of the new state, a military officer struggles to keep the peace between local Natives and remote settlers.

Lieutenant George Crook also fights to uphold a truce between the untrusting local tribe and his own men, soldiers who are far from home and out of place in the isolated backcountry.

But something is terribly wrong. Whole Indian villages are strangely deserted. Soldiers are coming up missing. An ancient Native American evil has awakened, and it threatens to destroy everyone-whatever their traditions or origin.

Crook finds he must join the local tribal Chief in a fight for survival, battling to prevail against an odious and wicked foe. But will such an alliance save their future, or does fate offer a more dreadful prospect to unity amongst former enemies?
