"Action at Three Peaks" by Frank O'Rourke is a novel set in 1875, where Captain Larimore returns to an army outpost in the Southwest to face off against Cochise and his Apache warriors. The story also features a love triangle between Larimore, his rival Captain Jackson, and Mary MacLean, the daughter of the fort's major. While O'Rourke excels at depicting cavalry tactics and the climactic battle, the novel is criticized for its overly simplistic good vs. bad characterizations and its soap opera-esque romantic plot,
