Walk spent four years in the war. He spent six years under carpetbagger rule trying to get somewhere. The Apaches held him captive for two years. That made twelve years--all wasted. Now he was a commanchero, with a stake. He meant to trade that stake for a ranch. Even if he had to fight the Comanches, Cheyennes, Mexicans, half-breeds, ranchers, and the whole U.S. Army. One thing was certain--he would have to mean it. For that's exactly what he would have to do.
This is a good pulpy western; there's adventure, there's fist fights, there's good-hearted protagonist, a plucky sidekick, a headstrong love interest, rotten bad guys, savvy Indians, and noble horses. You think everything's going to go alright, then it goes to hell, then everything gets set right by the end. What more can you want?
