Disillusioned U.S. Cavalry Major Sam Nabors hopes to retire when he is called to Fort Leavenworth in the post-Civil War West. Guilt-ridden after the murder of his family on their Silver Creek farm in Kansas, Nabors is promoted to colonel and convinced by General Andy Chutte that he is one of few who can lead a mission to retrieve an abandoned cache of gold…before disaffected Confederate marauders steal it to finance a new war. Nabors grudgingly accepts, buying time to resolve his grief and please the general.
Nabors is joined by an unlikely match of Union and Southern officers, the famed all-black Buffalo Soldiers, Comanche and Osage, and remarkable emancipated women of the period. Too late, a supposedly loyal officer is linked to his family’s death…and a whole lot more. A trail of blood and betrayal ensues from New Mexico territory to Silver Creek before Nabors and fellow warriors extract the long-delayed revenge and Nabors can hang up his spurs for good.
ISIS-led, home-grown terrorists stage a surprise attack on U.S. veterans hospitals and clinics, beginning with the Kotahs’ Blue Sky Clinic on the Red River. This sequel to Crossing The Red tracks the return of Kotah family nemesis Ramiro Jenkins and the struggles of veterans who escaped ISIS captivity in Afghanistan, only to be followed home by the flesh-and-blood ghosts of their PTSD nightmares. Supported by the entire Kotah clan, US Marines, Army and FBI, the insurgents face more than they bargained for on the shores of the Red River.

Mr. Gibson's writing style is a cross between Louis L'Amour and W.E.B. Griffin.

Gibson, a talented storyteller, spins his tale with a level of assurance that keeps the reader with him.

Fans of adventure, thrilling action, and character-driven fiction will find an enjoyable read in Crossing the Red -- hopefully the first of many Bear Kotah novels to come.
