From the back cover: Indian Lover...Coward...Renegade
That's what Army Colonel Roscoe Cool had called Mike McVey shortly after he'd resigned his commission in the service. But McVey knew better and was glad to be out of the Army, free of Cool's bitter hatred and ready to lead his own kind of life.

Yet just when a cache of gold promised him new freedom and fortune, McVey again found himself smack in the middle of Army affairs, as the Plains Indians prepared the biggest uprising the white soldiers had ever seen.

Maybe it wasn't Mike's problem. But he had to aid his friend, a black man in dire trouble, and try to rescue the kidnapped young Army bride-to-be. And unless he helped the man who hated him most, Cool's entrie command was destined for certain and bloody slaughter.
