The US Army and a brutal Apache chief prepare for an epic showdown in
the New Mexico desert in this novel from a master storyteller of the
West. Ward Kinsman has done all he can to escape civilization,
spending the summer in a desert mountain range, deep in Apache
territory, sifting for gold and praying he never sees another settler
again. After a month of backbreaking work, he sees a trail of dust in
the distance, and knows a white man has come to find him . . . which
means the Apache are right behind. The Apache leader is Diablito,
or the Little Devil, a warrior so vicious even his own men fear his
rage. He’s clever and unpredictable, and he hates Kinsman. The US
Army has Diablito in its sights, and they want Kinsman to lead them to
him. But finding the Little Devil will mean putting Kinsman’s own
neck on the line—and risking the life of the most beautiful woman in
the territory. Made into a 1950 MGM film starring Robert Taylor,
this tense western adventure, considered one of the genre’s best
cavalry stories, is a classic example of Luke Short’s fiction. From
its daring lone-wolf hero to its sweeping desert landscapes, Ambush is
the American West at its roughest, toughest, and most exciting.
