There was only one way Buck Madrid could get his herd to market-and that was over Vern Cotton's land. To push the boundaries of his cattle empire across the river, Madrid brought hired guns to the Rio Chama and built them into a gunslick army to drive Vern Cotten from his ranch. But there was one professional gun Madrid couldn't buy-not for the chicken feed he was willing to part with. That was how Nat Stryker came to fight for Vern Cotton's ranch … and for all the cattle kingdom his blazing guns could seize! All his life, Stryker had fought and killed for a price, and this time he was out to take the biggest prize of all.

They'll be like a pack after a crippled antelope."Such was the prophecy by which Nora Parrott had inherited the mighty ranch and by which her foreman Clay Sebastian was bound.
