Synopsis

The old Apache renegade Soldado Viejo is hiding out in Mexico, and the Arizona Department Adjutant has selected two men to hunt him down. One -- Dave Flynn -- knows war, the land, and the nature of his prey. The other is a kid lieutenant named Bowers. But there's a different kind of war happening in Soyopa. And if Flynn and his young associate choose the wrong allies -- and the wrong enemy -- they won't be getting out alive.

It’s not so much that I come to understand their souls, but rather, I come to understand that their souls are not an absolute thing. They do things based on temptation and opportunity,......more

Goodreads review by James on January 02, 2019
