Summary:
"In the untamed pages of history, the saga of Pedes-klinje--known to the Mexicans as the relentless Chato--blazes a trail through the blood-soaked annals of the Apache wars. From 1877, his name was etched in the fiery heart of battle--a figure brimming with ferocity, hunger for power, and a disdain for peace with the white invaders. As the trusted lieutenant of the infamous Chircauhua chief Geronimo, Chato's days are painted in the hues of raid and revolt until personal tragedy strikes in 1883 when his wife and children are taken into slavery in Mexico. Betting on General George Crook's influence to retrieve his kin, Chato strikes a deal to aid the U.S. Army in maintaining peace on the Fort Apache Reservation. But when Geronimo denounces him as a traitor and departs, all hope for Chato's family flees with him. Forsaken by his former brothers-in-arms, Chato vows to hunt down the renegades himself, becoming a beacon of the Chiricahua peace faction clinging to reservation life in the process. Desperate Warrior is an epic journey of resilience, honor, and the relentless pursuit of justice."-- Amazon website.
