When Major Frank Paddock and Barnes Kilrone were dashing young
officers in Paris, they had both fallen in love with the same
woman. But now they are men in exile on one of the harshest territories
of the American West, and Paddock has made a choice that will
plunge both men into a battle for their lives and souls.
While Paddock leads his company of soldiers in pursuit of a Bannock
war party that has massacred one of his patrols, Kilrone is left
to guard a fortress full of women and children. And in a matter
of hours Kilrone knows that Paddock's choice was wrong, fatally
wrong. Fueled by a white man's greed, the Indians are aiming for
the fort--and Kilrone's fight will be to the end--.
