Chapter 1: Foothills, Chisos Mountains West Texas 1 Foothills, Chisos Mountains West Texas 1910 "Incoming!" Even in her sleep, Zada recognized that voice. The old camel raised one eyelid. It was still dark. There was at least an hour left before dawn. She did not recall setting an early alarm bird.
