The Dansing Star
In 1879, a bank was robbed in Tucson, Arizona Territory. Deputy Sheriff Mort Dansing was the senior lawman on duty, and as such he was in charge of the posse that rode into the desert to catch the robbers. Unfortunately, all sign disappeared in a freak sandstorm, and the posse returned to Tucson in shame. When a good friend of Dansing's is later killed, he is a member of the posse that goes after her. However, the Apaches have jumped their reservation and gone on the warpath, and the bulk of the posse chooses for safety to return to their homes. Only Dansing and his partner continue. Dansing, who was partially raised by the Apaches, has both friends and enemies among them. But it is the war chief, Horse Hate, who surrounds Dansing in a deserted cabin in the desert, who is his worst enemy. Here in this lonely cabin, Dansing, his partner, four hardened men and one lonely woman must make a stand against over fifty Apache warriors bent on their destruction.

Dancing and Dan finds themselves between a rock and a hard place in this compelling story!
Believe this is my first time following this Author, but I assure you it will not be my only one. Most definitely a five star extravaganza of adventurous western folklore extravaganzas, and has several heartwarming episodes that will certainly pique your undivided attention! No slow downs throughout the entire series of ongoing gunfighting adventures, and this deadly duo finds themselves in a pickle, when they come upon a group of roughish outlaws!
Some very heartwarming episodes throughout these outstandingly descriptive storylines of how I perceived our old forefathers fought for their independence and self security! Too, the Author's outstandingly descriptive character selections were unsurpassed in their respective roles from beginning to end!
Definitely recommend this compassionately, and certainly heartwarming, series of compelling series of ongoing gunfighting adventures, as the good guys definitely go above and beyond in their quest for justice! The brothers are definitely a group to be reckoned with, and throw in the Apache Indians to enhance the ongoing hardships, only intensifies the situation! Even you non-western enthusiasts will find yourselves unable to put this compelling western masterpiece aside until the final paragraph has been absorbed!!!😃

EXCELLENT
I found this to be a truly outstanding western novel, based upon survival in the Arizona frontier, in the midst of the renegade Apache nation... True grit and plenty of action!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This is a modern version of a classic western tale (ca. 1879). Not bad for that genre.
