Description
"Now revenge drives me away from you," Winnetou had said, "but affection will bring us together again." But would it? Would Winnetou succeed in finding Santer and avenging the murders of his father Intshu¿tshuna and his beautiful sister Nsho¿tshi? Would the two blood brothers ever meet again in that vast, raw land? It seemed an outside chance at best and now Old Shatterhand, on his way to his homeland to visit his parents was shipwrecked in a violent hurricane on the jagged rocks just off Fort Jefferson leaving him with nothing but his life. This now was all but impossible. Not wanting to be a burden to his friends back in St. Louis, Old Shatterhand opted to make his own fresh start, to get back on his feet. Where better than in New York, to where the people of Fort Jefferson had arranged free passage for him? The book bristles with action and hair-raising adventure from a death-defying rescue through the flames of an oil fire in the New Venango oil fields to the Comanche slaughter at the hands of the Apache under the mighty Winnetou, finally standing shoulder to shoulder with the giant, Old Firehand against the white chief Parranoh and his Ponca tribe. The tables are turned on Old Shatterhand and Winnetou when the trader to whom they are seeking to sell Old Firehand¿s furs, turns out to be none other than the evil and elusive Santer. Karl May has once again produced a blockbuster of an adventure tale to inspire people both young and old in a manner only a master storyteller can.
