THE MESSAGE WAS WRITTEN IN BLOOD: BRING ME THE HEAD OF SMOKE JENSEN! A hard term in Yuma prison gave Ralph Tinsdale and his gunhawk sidekicks time to nurse a deep hatred for Smoke Jensen, the man who put them there. A bloody escape gives them a chance to get even. But they aren't acting alone. Their posse is already forty strong, the price on Smoke's head is up to twenty grand. With Jensen's own wife shanghied into Tinsdale's deadly trap, there's more at stake than Smoke's own life. With the Arapaho and Shoshoni for allies, and his .45 Colt for cover, Smoke is armed and waiting. Now, only the Green Mountains stand between Jensen's iron will and his enemies' lust for vengeance.

Heading west to Sacramento some honest pilgrims paid ten men good money to keep their wagon train safe. Soon word comes to Tombstone, where Matt Bodine and Sam Two Wolves are wearing out their welcome gambling with Wyatt Earp.

Everyone knows the tortures of the damned that await the girls in the hellholes south of the border. But only Matt and Sam will do something about it. But it's going to take more than their bravery and their crack shooting skills to rescue those girls from the merciless white slavers. Down in Mexico Matt and Sam will ride into a war party of Apaches and worse, face down some of the meanest and deadliest outlaws whoever drew a breath. But the blood brothers are fixing to save these girls and blast their way north to freedom - no a matter how many bullets it takes, or how many guns are hooting back....

Now he's in the middle of a mining camp district slowly being crushed under the iron fist of another misnamed, hard headed fellow, Carter Scruples. With Cotton facing off against Scruples, a beautiful young woman caught in-between, and a band of outlaws living high and mighty in a dry-docked Pullman Palace Car, the town of Swamp Creek is surely going to get blown sky high"--back cover.
