Description
From the Back Cover
Pancho Villa, charismatic, often brilliant, sometimes shortsighted to the point of blindness, narcissistic and stubborn, wrote his name large on the history and legends of Mexico and the American southwest. Admirers called him a great hero, a man of the people. Enemies called him a murdering bandit who bathed Mexico in blood. Pancho Villa was Henry Fountain and Yellow Boy’s friend in the days they lived with the Apaches in the Sierra Madre and fought common enemies. In 1915, soon after Henry graduates from medical school, Villa, engaged in a brutal civil war with Venustiano Carranza, calls for Henry and Yellow Boy’s help and they are quick to answer. Six months later, his army destroyed, insane with anger at his betrayal by the United States, Villa tries to have Henry murdered and later attacks Columbus, New Mexico, and a nearby army camp, Camp Furlong. Swearing vengeance against Villa and haunted by dreams of a burning jaguar, Henry begins a long journey into darkness. It is a time of betrayals and of loyalty, a time of deadly enemies and of unseen friends, a time of revenge and of justice, a time of secrets and of revelations hidden in a dream. Gripping historical fiction taken from stories of those who lived the times, Knight of the Tiger paints a picture of Pancho Villa few have seen today. It is a picture of a once great warrior plunging to the edge of insanity and of a young man discovering betrayal is a two-edged sword.
