Sixkiller was born in the Cherokee Nation, the Going Snake District, and was able to create a bold destiny one that was almost as bold as his own name. Sixkiller is just as fearless as anyone else. He was a part of the Second Cherokee Mounted Rifles, which is the regiment his dad fought with in the Civil War. He also served with the Longhorse Police while in Indian territory keeping the peace with five tribes during a period full of change and violence.

He now faces his biggest challenge yet, though. Being a U. S. Marshal, he has to take on some of the biggest outlaws ever seen in the west. Like the horse thieves that kill without conscience. Train robbers that wreak havoc on the railways. One merciless enemy that has gone on a bloody reign full of fear that takes Sixkiller to a big showdown.

He is able to create incredible characters and make you hear their distinctive voices each time they talk. The dialogue is extraordinary, and so are the things the characters do.

“Day of Rage” is the second novel in the “Sixkiller: U. S. Marshal” series and was released in the year 2012. There was $75,000 in gold bullion just there and ready for someone to take it. The money combined funds that three gold mines have made. It would not be too hard for someone to come along and take it from under the bickering sheriff and city marshal’s noses.

Billy Ray Gilmore, along with his murder crazed outlaws, plan on doing just that. Sixkiller showing up in the town squashes that plan, though. He hides his badge that shows him to be a U. S. Marshal, and goes undercover to find the robbers before they can still the gold.

In this town that is full of snakes with two legs, lethal surprises lurk behind each and every saloon door. Sixkiller is going to have to set some traps of his own, unless he wants to be bitten. It is a good thing then, that what this town does not have in law, it makes up for in spades with dynamite and guns.

A bent sheriff has got the scared people of Chico under his thumb, so John Henry Sixkiller is who the governor turns to next. He goes undercover as gun for hire.

Thus far, Sixkiller has drawn blood from each of his opponents in each of the battles fought while in the Southwest. This one might just affect the whole country, as there is a gang of land pirates that do not know about mercy that hide behind the brutal sheriff of Chico.

They have a goal in mind. To get the whole territory as their hostage. Sell it off, piece by piece back to Mexico. All the while, slaughter those that would get in their way.
