"Life in the wild was vicious. There was no other word to describe it. Nature was not just a harsh mistress; she was a cruel one,with no mercy for the unwary. The elements,the hard land,the savage beasts and men,made for constant perils,and woe to whoever was careless." Skye Fargo finds himself alone with his faithful Ovaro stranded in the desert,during a long drought,out of water,at the end of his endurance and it looks like death is inevitable in Apache country,west of the Pecos River in West Texas. As a last hope, he finds a humble cabin with hill country inhabitants who have little in life but a source of water and a lot of built-up grudges. While the water is a Godsend to Fargo and his hourse ;he lands in the middle of one of the wildest families he has ever encountered ;with a tribe of Apache ready to wipe them out;that is if another family with a more prosperous ranch :but also on the edge of disaster due to their lack of water,and a determination to do anything necessary to get to the available water;even if it means a fight to the end. The story has lots of action and surprises that'll keep you captivated from beginning to end.
