The Rescuers — Tony Masero

There were five of them. Just kids really, but they were rich kids.

A savage Comanche war party raids across New Mexico territory leaving behind a shocking trail of bloody cruelty.
When they capture the children it leaves the parents with a problem.
They need a man who knows the Indians and their ways. They need Britt Marley.
Trouble is, Britt is retired now.
After fifteen years as chief scout with the military and with the prospect of peace and tranquility ahead Britt has much to look forward to, even so he cannot shed his past when the call comes. With the backing of the wealthiest folks in the country, Britt and his small detail of hand picked cavalry must set out on an onerous task. To find the elusive war party and bring back the children by any means possible.
Even as he sets out, some of the troubled parents offer a handsome reward and hire a contentious gang of killers to seek out their offspring. The outcome leaves the scout with a dilemma that will inevitably lead to a violent confrontation on more than one front.
