across hard country, Deputy Marshal Logan Kane needs to watch his
back and keep his Colt close at hand. There are rustlers, lynch

A treacherous ride for supplies brings mortal danger to a
trigger-happy gunfighter in this thrilling Ralph Compton western.
Big Charlie Chilton knows better than to lose his temper, but when
a loudmouth threatens to expose his long-buried secrets, he can't
help but teach the man a lesson about keeping quiet. Unfortunately,
it turns out the man was about to make an important supply run for
the town marshal, and Marshal Watt knows just enough about Shotgun
Charlie's past to draft him into service. The trek north would be
treacherous enough with the snow, but the ragtag drunkards running
the freighting outfit make Charlie ill at ease. When bad blood
springs up between them, Charlie is left for dead on the side of
the mountain. But they should have made sure he was really gone,
because the wounded bear of a man isn't down without a fight, and
he's ready to wreak vengeance on those who did him wrong.... More

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.
