Résumé
Arizona Territory, 1871. When seventeen-year-old Ned Thorne arrives for duty, Corporal Brickner, a conniving old mule driver, takes advantage of the young "shavetail", a name applied to untrained mules and soldiers. Outranked but not outwitted, Ned faces scorpions and Indians… in a battle for survival. Some strong language, some descriptions of sex, and explicit descriptions of violence. Spur Award. c2008.
