RENEGADE GENERAL
by W. HOCK HOCHHEIM

SWELLEN'S ORPHANS

Swoop Swellen, the Renegade General, was on the run, determined to swap the Pacific Northwest for the high canyon desert lands of Idaho. He was pursued every step of the way, too, by bounty hunters with no quit in them. When they finally caught him, it looked like the end of Swoop. But then salvation &madash; of a sort — came from a most unlikely source.

Salvation came at a price, though, and near dead, Swoop somehow managed to find his way to a remote church that also doubled as an orphanage.

But all was not as it seemed. There was something rotten going on in the House of God, and all at once Swoop found himself up to his neck in one of the most evil schemes he'd ever come across. The question now was: could he save himself and the orphans from a nightmare fate? Even When with the U.S. Army, bounty hunters, Wells Fargo agents and renegade Indians fast closing in on him?

SWELLEN'S RECKONING

Lieutenant General Mordecai "Swoop" Swellen was a born fighting man. When so ordered, he would "swoop" in and decimate any declared enemy. He was also known for his tactical brilliance and red hot anger.

But in 1890, Swellen had some kind of change of heart. He was faced with enraging the local Lakota Indians near his fort, which he knew would lead to disaster. He walked away from his command just before the Massacre at Wounded Knee, disobeying all orders and disappeared. AWOL.

His vindictive superiors branded him a coward, a traitor to the United States and issued a wanted dead or alive $1,000 bounty on his head. The military orchestrated a massive hunt for him. Swellen struggles to stay one step ahead of his many bounty hunting pursuers and the United States Army.
