Alec Monro's reputation preceded him all along the banks of the Upper Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers: he was a stubborn Scot who piloted the fastest stern-wheeler in the Territory. But Munro would need more than his reputation to see him through his latest mission: the delivery of a stockpile of supplies to Fort Mahone, six days upriver. Two hundred miles of treacherous water lay ahead - with murderous Sioux at every bend, a vengeful skipper steaming along in his wake, hoping to see the Rose Of Dundee and her captain at the bottom of the Yellowstone, and a beautiful stowaway who was fast stealing Munro's heart. Any way he tried adding up the score it came out the same: Alec Munro stood to lose more on this trip up the Yellowstone River than he did to gain.....if he survived it.
