Ned Cody must venture into the hell that's the Mojave Desert to face a taatooed Indian who seems more than a mere man if he's to save his two best friends from a tortuous death. When the gunsmoke clears, Cody will either rule the desert sands...or be buried in it.
Johnny Tenkiller got his name in the usual way, from his father...what was unusual was how seriously he took it! A classic western in the Louis L'Amour tradition, a coming of age tale, a trek to capture a killer, a quest for revenge.
