Publisher's summary

The Civil War is over and Confederate Texas is reluctantly yielding to Union military peace-keepers and regulations imposed by Washington.

David "Rusty" Shannon is the member of a "ranging company" attempting to protect Texas settlers from Comanche depredations. He learns that the rangers are being disbanded. He makes his way home to his farm on the Colorado River, and discovers that the land around his home is filled with hostiles — Indians, Confederates, and conscription-dodging renegades.

Rusty's youth as a captive of the Comanches returns to haunt him when, in pursuit of Indian raiders, he finds the wounded Badger Boy, a white child who was orphaned and kidnapped by a Comanche warrior, and raised as an Indian for five years. Rusty takes on the task of nursing the boy back to health and trying to reunite him with relatives, if any have survived.

Performed by Terence Aselford, David Coyne, Eric Messner, Thomas Penny, Andy Clemence, Richard Rohan, Michael John Casey, Tim Carlin, Ken Jackson, Joe Brack, Jonathan Watkins, Tony Nam, Tim Getman, Scott McCormick, Catherine Aselford, James Konicek, Dylan Lynch, James Lewis, Nanette Savard, Johann Dettweiler, Casie Platt, Michael Glenn, Christopher Graybill, Drew Kopas, Mort Shelby, Bobby Aselford.

Badger Boy

This is the second book in this series. I like Rusty. He's tough and not scared. He tries to do the right thing but I think he tries too hard. Sometimes he should do what should be done and not worry about what's right. In this book he comes across Badger boy. He had been kidnapped by the Indians and lived with them for several years. I want to find out what happens with him. I highly recommend this series. There are several narrators in this book. If my review is any help will you please click on the help below. Thank you.
