Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Barnaby Skye and Victoria, the Indian woman with whom he shares his life, have decided to hole up for a time at Bent's Fort near the Mexican border. Skye earns his living supplying buffalo meat to the settlement's residents. But peace and quiet don't keep Skye company for long. At the urging of Victoria, he takes up the cause of Stands Alone, a Cheyenne woman whose two children were stolen by the slave-trading Utes. On the way to Ute territory, Skye and the two women form an uneasy alliance with Texas adventurer Colonel Childress, who is protected from the Utes by his small spider monkey, which the Indians believe is strong medicine best left alone. When Skye is taken prisoner, the question is whether Childress will find it in his enigmatic heart to rescue him so their mission can be completed. Wheeler's Skye is a much more well rounded character than one usually finds in western literature. He is intelligent, erudite, compassionate, and self-aware. The thirteenth entry in the series is one of the most satisfying. Wes Lukowsky
