Peacemaker

In this Doctor Who novel, the Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones arrive in the American Old West of 1880, where they discover tensions between settlers, Native Americans, and mysterious forces.

The Doctor and Martha must navigate complex relationships between cavalry soldiers, townspeople, and members of the Sioux tribe while investigating strange occurrences and unexplained phenomena.
