Hostage And Honor

By: Jesse Storm

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Waking in the dirt to the smell of smoke, widower Ben Palmer finds his homestead razed, and his daughter gone.

Ben is raising his daughter Iris as best he could, scratching a living out of the rocky New Mexico mountain soil. Life is hard – but it just gets a lot harder.

Under the lead of the notorious Stitch Jacobs, six desperate men have just fouled relations between the Apache nation and a wealthy land baron. Caught in the crosshairs of their escape, Ben’s daughter is taken hostage as a peace offering to the tyrant who bankrolls the gang.

Ben is desperate. Getting his daughter back means a chase across Apache land – where he is neither familiar nor safe. The outlaw gang has seen to that.

Riding in hard pursuit, Ben encounters an Apache scout who has lost his name and will do anything to get it back. Joining ruined fortunes, it’s two men with nothing to lose pitting themselves against seven of the hardest guns in the territory.

Hotel owner Sophie Martin harbors a secret that could help Ben, and ruin Stitch in the bargain – if only they can catch the gang in time. But, with Iris under his thumb, the Outlaw King won’t give up his prize without a fight.

Will Ben find his daughter before it’s too late?
