High Country Ambush
Book 9 of the An American Adventure series
176 pages · First published 1992
A journey into rugged high country becomes an ambush when young adventurers encounter enemies using isolated terrain to their advantage. Escape requires practical outdoor skill, quick decisions, and enough courage to protect companions when the safest response would be to run. The attack proves connected to a larger threat rather than a random encounter. Lee Roddy’s juvenile historical adventure combines Western danger, Christian values, and fast-paced action in a story where mountain country is both spectacular landscape and a place with very few safe exits.
