All My Sins Remembered by Rod Miller.On a lonely road in a remote desert stands a roadhouse. Formerly a home station on a now abandoned stagecoach route, it is the only source of water and supplies for miles. Accommodations are crude and coarse, the hospitality rough and raw, the proprietor boorish and vulgar. Travelers are few and far between, and almost all must stop for water-which comes at a price. A mounted mail carrier who visits the roadhouse with some regularity suspects there is more to the place than meets the eye, and he comes to believe that for some travelers the roadhouse is the end of the road.
Avenging Angel: A Frontier Epic of Love and Vengeance by Derek Catron. He survived the war; winning the peace could prove even more dangerous for Union sharpshooter Josey Angel. Following two years of bloody fighting, the army is ready to abandon the Bozeman Trail in the summer of 1868. But a rash of disturbing new raids-their victims beheaded, and not always after death-jeopardizes the delicate negotiations.
Devil’s Delight: an Agatha Raisin mystery by M.C. Beaton. Beloved New York Times bestseller M.C.

Toni and Agatha are in the car on the way to Officer Bill Wong’s long-awaited wedding when, much to their shock, a naked young man bursts through a hedge on the side of the road and comes running toward them.
The Iliad of Geronimo: A Song of Blood and Fire by W. Michael Farmer.The story of the last ten years of Geronimo’s wars mirrors the rage, battles, and deception told in Homer’s Iliad, the story of the ten-year Greek and Trojan War. The Iliad of Geronimo begins in 1877, ten years before Geronimo’s surrender with him being hauled four hundred miles in chains to the San Carlos Reservation guardhouse, there to await hanging in Tucson. Almost miraculously, Geronimo escaped hanging and lived peacefully for a time on the San Carlos Reservation. Geronimo and his followers escaped reservations three times during the nearly ten years of Geronimo’s Iliad.
