There are a thousand ways to die in the desert—desperate
outlaws, deadly predators, murderous elements, and betrayal . . .
Kaitar Besh, a veteran scout as legendary for his cynicism as
his skills, is ordered to brave the deadly Shy'war-Anquai desert one last time.
Escorting Leigh Enderi—a greenhorn Enforcer with a reputation as shady as his
own—he soon realizes the ghosts of his past have come to haunt more than his
nightmares.
When the mission breaks down in the wake of bitter hatred and
mistrust, even Kaitar's fabled skills may not be enough to bring them home
again. Stranded in the red wasteland without contact, food, or water, they
uncover a betrayal that could bring all they hold dear crumbling to the dust . .
. and tear down the wall of lies surrounding them.

From the riots over a child's murder that led to the Boston Massacre to the suspicious return of Ben Franklin, the "First American;" from the Continental Army's first victory under George Washington's leadership to the little known southern Guerilla campaign of "Swamp Fox" Francis Marion, and the...
