So he handed the chore to his two best men, Yancey Bannerman and Johnny Cato. They came up with Ironsite, a center where new Enforcers could be trained, and then set about recruiting the best of the best from the Texas Rangers.But then Yancey and Cato found themselves caught up in a race against time.A fanatic named Sam Burdin was fixing to invade the town of Van Horn with his twenty-strong army of so-called 'Texas Freedom Fighters', and they planned to give Governor Dukes a bullet-welcome when he came to take part in the Texas Independence Day celebrations.Burdin said he was a patriot, a man who only had the welfare of Texas at heart. But the truth was very different. Burdin was a psychotic killer, and a mass-murderer in the making. And all that stood between him and total anarchy were … the Enforcers.
