"The Long Chance" by Peter B. Kyne is an adventure tale set in the rough Colorado desert, where the lure of fortune tests the bonds of men. A hardened prospector, a worried Bostonian, and a Cahuilla Indian unite in a quest for riches hidden beneath the scorching sands. Their varied personalities clash as they journey toward a promising mine, revealing the prospector's easygoing nature against the Easterner's fear of the unforgiving wilderness. A looming sandstorm heightens the tension, driving them toward their goal, which is the discovery of a valuable claim that ignites a battle over ownership, signaling a coming storm of greed and deceit that lies at the heart of this dangerous pursuit.
