It was the only water for miles in a vast, sun-blasted desert where water meant survival. So Logan Cates naturally headed for Papago Wells. But he wasn't the only one. Fleeing the fierce Churupati and his Apache warriors, other travelers had come there, too. And when the Apaches found them, they began a siege as relentless and unforgiving as the barren land - and just as inescapable.

The last thing Cates wanted was to be responsible for the lives of 13 desperate strangers and a shipment of gold. But he knew that if they were to survive, he was their last chance. He also knew that some in the party were willing to die - or kill - to get their hands on the money. If he couldn't get them to work together, it wouldn't be the desert or even the Apaches that would do them in - it would be the greed of the very people he was trying to save.

Narrator was excellent . I had trouble putting this story down. Highly recommend this story

Excellent story.

The story is a good one. The number of characters makes it a little confusing at first. The part concerning the amount of firewood was a stretch. The desert is a very harsh environment and the battle with the Indians seems extremely accurate. I’ll listen again and see if the story flows more smoothly.

Sad that so many had to die, but if all had lived this would have been nothing other than a boring fairytale . I am enjoying the freedom afforded to have someone else read to me and my eyes do better for the rest, Thank You.

One Of My Favorite Stories

Didn’t want it to end. Huge L’Amour fan but can’t say this about all of his books. This one will become one of your favorites. Narrator sounds like a cowboy but in an annoying way. (If you listen to a lot of western books you know what I mean). Solid 5 stars.

Epic story telling, perfect ending.

An excellent concept and setting for the interplay of L'Amour's characters. Delivery and plot are fast moving, and the outcome and denuement are satisfying to the longtime fan of these works. I enjoyed the Sacketts series and many other of his novels, but this one is a concise piece which really makes the reader/ listener pay attention without the need to follow long and deep connections across continents and time. would be a great intro for new Lamour fans.

Most entertaining!

Good read. Find myself wishing it was longer. Really enjoyed the narrator's style you can feel the story as it's being read to you.

Loved it

I don’t know if I was just having an off day or what,but this was by far the most boring book I’ve ever read, thus the low ratings.

One of the Worst
