Tonkawa: Courage And Redemption
(2023)(The eighth book in the Tuc And Potak series)
A novel by Ash Lingam
Tuc and Potak are requested a favor from the Texas Rangers to come out of retirement and do one last service for the U.S. Army. They are never too old to go on a mission of honor and mercy; they agree to locate white women and children, captured by Comanche and Apache, and rescue them to bring them back to their homes and families, saving their honor. They agree undeterred. They set out for an Apache camp said to have enslaved whites and Mexicans.
James Boot, alias the Sinner Killer, waits for his two unlikely Tonkawa friends to arrive in Eagles Pass, Texas, as promised upon their departure. At the same time, Potak went on yet another spiritual journey, and Tuc went to a forbidden powwow, the Tonkawa Wolf Dance. James waits until an old medicine man comes to find him and take him to Tuc, who is said to be in trouble.
Major John. L. Bully just got out of West Point, graduating at the top of his class. He requests a transfer to the frontier, where the Indian Wars continue into their fourth decade. Finally, his dream comes true, and he gets permission to seek out what he considers savage dogs. He is allowed to pick twenty men to accompany him at his request. The major is also attached an experienced grizzly Indian fighter, Master Sergeant Rex Hanger. He has twenty years of experience fighting Sioux, Comanche, and Apache. He is as hard as nails, knows the lay of the land, and eats bullets for breakfast.
An Apache tribe hides deep in the desert, away from greedy eyes, attempting to avoid the dangerous violence that floods Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. They only seek a peaceful life away from white people, which is difficult in current times.
The massive civilization machine is marching unstoppably toward the last of the Indian holdouts.
As the entities merge to a single point, the heavens divide, spirits play games on the participants, and the unexpected occurs. With the Indian ways, white man’s rules don’t apply.
Will the captured white people find their deliverance, and American justice is served?
Will the U.S. Army continue to be the hunter, the punisher, and seek revenge? Find out in Ash Lingam’s latest Tonkawa adventure.
