It's a hard, dusty haul from Wichita to the hick burg of Rawson. But Jubal Cade, ace medic, ace marksman, would ride to the ends of the earth to catch up with a certain gentleman. A big man who handles twin Colts real mean. A man with a four inch scar across his forehead. The man who gunned down Jubal's wife. And when the deadly doctor gets Scarface Kincaid in his sights, he's going to splatter his guts across the entire wide, wild West… Terry Harknnett and Angus Ian Wells were British writers of genre fiction, who wrote under the name of Charles R. Pike (Jubal Cade). Raised in a Chicago foundling home, Jubal Cade went to England to learn medicine and returned to his native land with a wife and a dream.But a cruel world sets little store by dreams and as Jubal moved westwards he found himself on a killing trail. Violence stalked him every foot of the way and sudden death lurked close to every campsite. The harsh reality of flying fists and whining bullets shattered the dream and Jubal was forced to acknowledge the truth about himself.With sparkling white snow stained by the ghastly red of blood, the final tattered remnants of the dream were ripped away-although he had been taught to heal, his destiny was to kill.
