Synopsis

Death waits for no man…When the ruthless Sioux tribe swept down from the hills, everyone in the waggon train below expected nothing but death.And they would be right.For this was a time when the Indians rode unchecked and claimed the Mid-West for their own.Of the entire wagon party, only two people escaped with their lives – Big Jim Ratford and Sam Strake, who was only twelve years old.For the next ten years, Strake lived with the Sioux tribe and came to learn the Indian ways.After passing the test of initiation to become a warrior, he rode the warpath against the dreaded Cochise, the Scourge of the South, and became blood brother to a younger warrior.It was a good life, but it could not last.The land-hungry whites became irresistible, the buffalo herds were slaughtered, and in a final act of desperation, the Indians sued for peace.Set during the years of cultural change that immediately followed the Civil War, The Scourge of the South is a fast-moving, exciting tale of the old West, when men rode with watchful eyes and tensions were at breaking point.Praise for E C Tubb'A thrilling read.' - Robert Foster , acclaimed author of The Lunar Code .Edwin Charles Tubb was a British writer of western novels, science fiction and fantasy.
