He was a boy when the first shots were fired. By the time he reached the border, he would be a man . . .
On a hot West Texas night, Hank Littleton was riding hard towards the Mexican border, caught up in a swirl of violence and deceit he did not yet fully understand. It began when two men murdered Hank's grandfather in cold blood and started south with a load of hijacked gold. All he had to rely on was his rage and his skill with a Henry rifle.
After his hometown turns against him for a crime he didn't commit, Jacob Travers runs away and joins a gang of bank robbers. When a job goes bad and he's seriously wounded, Emory Moore, whom Jacob considers his only friend, leaves him to die or be caught. Determined to survive, he crawls to a deserted trading post and recovers in the care of a gentle soul. Back on the trail, Jacob becomes a hero when he saves a medicine-hawker and his assistant from an angry mob -- which brings him into a deadly ranch war, and face-to-face with Emory Moore.
