by James W. Marvin (Laurence James)
1979, Corgi
Crow stumbles upon a caravan who have been attacked by the Shoshone. Most of the men have been killed, and help is days, if not weeks, away. Crow uses his tactical expertise to hold off the attacks, while hunger and desperation lower the women to his level of depravity.
Short and nasty, though a little bit flat. This time it felt like James was trying a little too hard. Dead babies, cannibalism, oral emasculation, deflowering, rape, and eye socket bonfires. That makes it sound more fun than it was.
Some references to Herne the Hunter, and every character had a name of another British author or pen name.
