Siege
No single man is an army…Hanson is a paroled Rebel soldier trying to fit in and find his way in the Union cavalry as they protect miners and government interests. It’s hard going, but it’s working. Tensions are slowly easing and everyone is getting along. However, when their unit is attacked by a savage horde of Apache Indians during what should have been a routine patrol, the situation quickly spins out of control, which could spell disaster for the uneasy truce.The battle forces his former adversaries to place all of their trust—and even their very lives—in Hanson’s hands. It’s up to him to keep everyone alive, but is he up to the task? Will old resentments and rivalries cloud his judgment, or will his sense of honor and duty win the day?

About the author
Frank Roderus
96 books7 followersFrank Roderus wrote his first story—it was a western—when he was five. It was really awful, as might be expected, but his mother kept that typed and spell-checked short story tucked away until the day she died.
Later, Frank became a newspaper reporter, thinking that books are written by authors which he most assuredly was not. He kept trying to write though, and eventually did it wrong enough to learn how to get it right. That first sale, a young adult novel published by Independence Press, was more than thirty years and a good many books ago.
As a journalist, the Colorado Press Association awarded Frank Roderus their highest award, the Sweepstakes Award, for the best news story of 1980, and the Western Writers of America has twice named Frank recipient of their prestigious Spur Award. Frank passed away at age 73 in December 2015.

Siege
In my opinion this is the most boring, ridiculous book I have ever read. There wasn't a story that you could just sit down and enjoy.

An FR Western Novel About an army Patrol Fighting Indians
FR had penned a U.S. Calvary western which takes place in a Southwestern desert somewhere near the border with Mexico. The troop goes to assist a group of German miners not to be surrounded by Indians. The drive last for days until there is no food, water and very little ammunition. This is an excellent read for the genre.....DEHS
