In this newest of Richard Wheeler's Barnaby Skye chronicles, the earthy deserter from the Royal Navy, now a trapper, guide, and magnet for adventure, collects his Crow Indian wife Many Quills Woman (or "Victoria" as he calls her) and drifts south to Mexican territory At Bent's Fort on the Mexican frontier, Skye agrees to help Standing Alone, a mysterious Cheyenne woman, locate her two children who were kidnapped by Ute Indians several years before and sold into bondage in Mexico. This impossible, dangerous, and foolhardy mission takes the three to Santa Fe and Taos and into a strange association with an eccentric Texas adventurer, Colonel Childress, who agrees to help them for reasons no one can guess.

Two Cheyenne children were abducted
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Skye and his wife, Victoria, take on a quest to find two kidnapped children who were sold into slavery in what is now the state of New Mexico. This story is full of great description and characterization, including capturing Standing Alone's need to find her children, the many faces of a fat man called Childress, and the pits of despair the human soul sinks to when it is enslaved. The Deliverance was a well written read and quite enjoyable.
