This is the story that began it all: the first novel that is mostly biographical. A Rogue, a descendant from the Southcoast Natives that taught then Lieutenant Phil Sheridan how ruthless he must be to fight Indians if he wanted to win, Jay Shoulders again disappears after befriending a petty drug dealer. A former Vietnam sniper, Shoulders is finally located-and CCCP Special Squads discover what Sheridan learned: a Rogue is best left alone, when he has returned to being a part of the natural world.
