Far bright star / Robert Olmstead.
The year is 1916. The enemy, Pancho Villa, is elusive. The terrain is unforgiving; the intense heat and dust both relentless and overpowering. Through the mountains and across the long dry stretches of Mexico an aging cavalryman leads an expedition of inexperienced horse soldiers on seemingly fruitless searches. He's weathered the storms of battle with a horse who's as flinty and seasoned as he. But this time he can't control one of his young soldiers who has a penchant for reckless, dramatic actions and who, in his desire to prove himself, makes a move that is the beginning of the end. Before long, Napoleon's patrol is at the mercy of an enemy who is intent on avenging a brutal act.
