Apache Ambush

by Jon Sharpe

Book Overview

Fargo is in no mood to talk when a wealthy freight baron tries to hire him to guide a valuable delivery through hostile Apache country. Then he meets the Frazier sisters: three wild, wanton, and whip-smart women who can drive a wagon train better than anyone in the territory. But making it through is going to take more than mule muscle--it's going to take the kick of the Trailsman's Colt.

"Life is like cards. We are dealt what we are dealt and must make the best of it."

New Mexico is a hot,hard land in 1861. Skye Fargo is just looking for some rest and relaxation.However,as we haven learned,things don't seem to stay quiet for long when Fargo is around,especially when some character tries to take him on,or bullies someone in his presence. A wealthy freight baron tries to hire Fargo to work for him to accompany him through Apache country with a wagon train of goods for Hot Springs. Although Skye wasn't really interested ,he finally ends up joining the expedition.The job turns out to be anything but routine.Another wagon baron has been trying to take over from the train Fargo hired on with.A half breed Apache ,who has been big trouble in the area for a long time gets involved. Also on the train are three sisters, who are as beautiful as Fargo has ever encountered,and as tough as any frontiersmen around,and on top of that, can handle men,wagons and guns as well as any men;and they add lots of excitment to the trip. The story is well costructed,with lots of memorable characters,and more than enough fast-action,even for Fargo. The artwork on the cover is excellent.Not only do we get one,but two, real exciting scenes from some of the action we read about in the story.The publishers and artists are to be congratulated for the effort they put into their covers...Few ,if any ,others do this as well and as consistently.
