Through Apache Land

A lone scout drifts through moonlit waters on the Rio Gila, his disguise as an Indian barely hiding the urgent message he carries back to Fort Havens. Tom Hardynge is a seasoned hunter and courier, familiar with the rugged bluffs and restless whispers of an impending Apache uprising. As the night deepens, a mysterious light on a distant bluff signals that his careful ruse may have been spotted, and the river’s calm soon gives way to a tense chase.

Listeners will feel the weight of his secret, the crackle of hidden dangers, and the relentless push of a man determined to warn the outposts before the storm breaks.
