Massacre Creek

 Massacre Creek

by

Gordon D. Shirreffs

''Bloody Khuyper'' they called the captain who ruled the Union Army’s prisoner-of-war camp in the west. And no Johnny Reb hated the man more than Sabin Shay of Texas.

Then word came that Khuyper was to command an expedition against the hostile Indians. Sabin Shay saw his chance. He disavowed the Confederacy, swore allegiance to the Union and volunteered to fight Indians as a ''Galvanized Yankee.''

He did it knowing that Khuyper would make his life hell on the trail, knew that his name would come up for every suicide patrol. But he also knew that somewhere along the way he and Khuyper would stand over drawn guns - man to man!

I read the paperback edition of Massacre Creek, though it’s also available as an eBook from Wolfpack Publishing. The story moves fast and stays tense throughout. At its center is Sabin Shay, a former Confederate captain and the man his fellow Confederate soldiers rely on as they push deeper into Indian country.

But once you add two women, a vengeful officer, and the constant threat of the Indians, Shay finds himself facing more trouble than any one man should have to handle. And it just might be the death of him.

Great read. 5/5
