Shavetail

Shavetail, by Thomas Cobb, is a thoughtful Western inspired by the historic 1871 Camp Grant massacre, following 17-year-old Ned Thorne as he joins Captain Robert Franklin at an Arizona outpost. As the story unfolds against a backdrop of conflict and violence, both characters confront the brutal realities of war and seek redemption. With vivid descriptions and a meditative tone, the novel explores themes of violence, scars, and the human desire for forgiveness. Narrated by Tom Stechschulte, it offers a compelling and engrossing listening experience.
