Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: ""A fighting machine" was one of the terms folks used for Quentin Reed. He was "a man born for trouble" because he seemed, through no conscious effort, to gravitate to it, to fall into the middle of it, especially if a beautiful woman was involved. When Quentin Reed won control of the only freight line to the White River Indian Agency from James Otis, he unwittingly forced into motion one of the vilest schemes for frontier plunder ever conceived. For the dirty work was to be masked by setting off a Ute rebellion which would bathe the entire region in fire and blood. And because Quentin further intervened to defend the lovely Mrs. Otis from the fists of her renegade husband, an extra horror was slated for the events to come. Based on the grim facts of Colorado history ... Quentin Reed pits his muscle and skill against the might and fury of a maddened tribe who had been manipulated into starting a war they couldn't win."-- Provided by publisher.
