Wilderness Double Edition 21: By Duty Bound / Flames of Justice

By Duty Bound

Of all the untamed places on the American Frontier, the Rocky Mountains might be the most dangerous and the least welcoming. But that’s where young Lieutenant Phillip Pickforth must go. He’s been ordered to lead a detachment from distant Fort Leavenworth to investigate reports of a vicious massacre. Reports blame the Shoshones, and the alleged ringleader of the slaughter is ... Zachary King, half-breed son of famed mountain man Nate King. As Lieutenant Pickforth fights his way across the plains, he begins to realize there is much more to the situation than he's been told. And he wonders if even a detachment of soldiers will be enough when he has to face Nate and Zach King.

Flames of Justice

In the untamed wilderness of the Rocky Mountains, there is frequently only one law … the law of survival. But sometimes even the brave men and women living on the brutal frontier must answer to the justice of so-called civilization. This is the lesson that famed mountain man Nate King and his son, Zach, are about to learn. Zach, a half-breed, has been brought to trial, accused of being the ringleader of a blood-drenched Indian massacre at a trading post. Nate knows that his son is innocent and can't understand how anyone would ever think Zach could be guilty of such a crime. But Nate isn't aware of the devious plotting and scheming that's going on behind locked doors … or the horrible lengths that the schemers would go to in order to see Zach hanged!
