Order of Apache Books

The Apache series stands as a compelling collection of western novels penned under the pseudonym William M. James, representing the collaborative efforts of authors John Harvey, Terry Harknett, and Laurence James. At the heart of these tales is Cuchillo Oro, a Native American warrior driven by vengeance against merciless white men who have broken sacred Indian traditions.

This gripping western saga launched in 1975 with The First Death and concluded nearly a decade later in 1984 with its twenty-seventh and final installment, Debt of Blood. The complete William M. James Apache book collection follows below, arranged in both publication and chronological sequence:
