Book excerpt: Paul Richter, a retired Army officer who spent twenty-three years of his life fighting his country's battles around the world, is settling down in his new life. Richter is in love, with Celia, a smart and beautiful woman, her two teenaged children, and with the sleepy rural Georgia town in which he has settled.Celia's daughter is a member of a church youth group on a mission trip to the small town of Futuro, Mexico. After a few days, Celia and the other the parents receive the nightmarish message that their children are missing. Governments on both sides of the border seek to resolve the crisis at a glacial, diplomatic pace. Richter knows that time is not on their side. He calls on old friends from his Army days for help. Retired Senior Chief Warrant Officer Michael "Hawg" Wilde, a doctoral candidate with a collection of bemused observations and awesome weaponry, is joined by another shooter, retired Master Sergeant Billy Many Birds, an Oglala Lakota who misses his warrior life. They are supported by U.S. Marshal Arturo Battaglia, the dapper former sergeant; Smilin' Jack Cullen, a gregarious dinosaur in the technologically oriented C.I.A.; and Quentin Granger, the misanthropic computer genius with a taste for larceny and self amusement.Richter and the shooters make their way to Futuro on the uncertain and illegal paths of smugglers and others whose stock in trade is human misery. In Futuro, Richter and his team learn that the American teens were taken by El Jefe, the ruthless and ambitious leader of a violent cartel cell. He has bargained to sell the teens to the smuggler and human trafficker known only as "The General."In this tense race against time, Richter is certain that people will die. He is relying on old skills and old friends to make sure that the ones who perish are the ones who deserve it.

Download or read book Mission of Sorrows written by John L. Kessell and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 1970 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mission of Guevavi on the Santa Cruz River in what is now southern Arizona served as a focal point of Jesuit missionary endeavor among the Pima Indians on New Spain's far northwestern frontier. For three-quarters of a century, from the first visit by the renowned Eusebio Francisco Kino in 1691 until the Jesuit Expulsion in 1767, the difficult process of replacing one culture with another—the heart of the Spanish mission system—went on at Guevavi. Yet all but the initial years presided over by Father Kino have been forgotten. Drawing upon archival materials in Mexico, Spain, and the United States—including accounts by the missionaries themselves and the surviving pages of the Guevavi record books—Kessell brings to life those forgotten years and forgotten men who struggled to transform a native ranchería into an ordered mission community. Of the eleven Black Robes who resided at Guevavi between 1701 and 1767, only a few are well known to history. Others—such as Joseph Garrucho, who presided more years at Guevavi than any other Padre; Alexandro Rapicani, son of a favorite of Sweden's Queen Christina; Custodio Zimeno, Guevavi's last Jesuit—have the details of their roles filled in here for the first time. In this in-depth study of a single missionary center, Kessell describes in detail the daily round of the Padres in their activities as missionaries, educators, governors, and intercessors among the often-indifferent and occassionally hostile Pimas. He discusses the Pima uprising of 1751 and the events that led up to it, concluding that it actually continued sporadically for some ten years. The growing ferocity of the Apache, the disastrous results of certain government policies—especially the removal of the Sobaípuri Indians from the San Pedro Valley—and the declining native population due to a combination of enforced culture change and epidemics of European diseases are also carefully explored. The story of Guevavi is one of continuing adversity and triumph. It is the story, finally, of explusion for the Jesuits and, a few short years later, the end of Mission Guevavi at the hands of the Apaches. In Mission of Sorrows Kessell has projected meticulous research into a highly readable narrative to produce an important contribution to the history of the Spanish Borderlands.
