Western
Hondo
Apache-raised cavalry scout Hondo Lane encounters homesteader Angie Lowe and her young son while carrying dispatches through dangerous Arizona territory. Angie's absent and unreliable husband leaves the isolated ranch vulnerable as conflict grows between the U.S. Army and Vittoro's Apaches. Hondo's respect for Apache ways and deepening attachment to Angie place him between communities heading toward violence. Lean and action-driven, this western suits readers who enjoy frontier survival, honorable loners, desert landscapes, and morally complicated stories about loyalty and love amid a collision no individual can prevent.
