  • You're sensitive to depictions of violence against Indigenous peoples, which is central to the plot and character motivation

About this book

Nathan Stark, Army Scout is the first book in a new western series by William W. and J.A. Johnstone about a man whose life became legendary. After hostile tribes killed his family and young bride, Nathan Stark devoted himself to fighting those responsible. Working as a civilian scout for the Army, he has served under famous commanders including Custer and Crook, and battled against war chiefs such as Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull. Among the fierce natives of the untamed west, Stark has become a living legend. Against his better judgment, Stark is paired with Moses Red Buffalo, a rival Crow scout. Under the command of a bloodthirsty army colonel, they are sent to forge a trail deep into Indian territory. However, the mission is not what it appears to be. To survive, Stark and Red Buffalo must work together as a team—if they don't kill each other first.
