FAST GUN IN WILD TIMES It was the 1870s--Jesse and Frank James led daring raids on banks and trains. Doc Holliday's name struck dread in the hearts of men, and Wild Bill Hickok played poker with bullets in the hole. A young killer named Billy the Kid was hunted by a determined lawman, and a General named Custer took the Seventh Cavalry into Dakota Territory. One man rode this untamed frontier like a shadow of death. His name was Nathan Stone, and he had learned to kill on the vengeance trail. He would have stopped after settling the score with his parents' savage slayers. But when you are the greatest gunfighter of all, there is no peace or resting place. And it was Nathan Stone's destiny to fight for survival against the most famed and feared figures from Texas to the Black Hills on both sides of the law.

Seeking vengeance on the rebel renegades who murdered his family, Civil War veteran Nathan Stone sets out on an odyssey that will take him throughout the United States and across the paths of the West's most famous--and infamous--characters, including Jesse James, "Wild" Bill Hickok, and John Wesley Hardin.

An outlaw cavalry that can't be stopped--and one man with the courage to take a stand.
In Mexico, Wes Stone picked up his father's gun, rode his father's horse, and took on his father's enemies. In California, he planted a band of savage criminals in the ground. Now Stone is heading up to the plains of Colorado, where a new kind of war has begun.
A dangerous band of mercenaries is going for the gold--enough to bankrupt the entire country. Their scheme: to raid four U.S. mints. Their weapon: an armored train tearing through the West like a fire-powered battle-ax on wheels.
From Durango to Dodge City, across a rugged land stained with blood, gold, and treachery, Stone follows a violent trail of honor. All that stands between victory and death is a quick-draw reflex--and the kind of .44-caliber justice that could tame the West and turn Stone into a legend.
