Synopsis

Bestselling author Robert Vaughan's fan favorite Lucas Cain is back with another fast-paced action and adventure tale set in the old wild west.

First introduced in Vaughan's A Rambling Man, Lucas Cain is back in the saddle, searching for some peace of mind and some solace after the loss of his wife and newborn child. He has continued his traveling from town to town, an itinerant lawman focused on capturing the bad guys for whatever amount is on the wanted papers for them. Local sheriffs and marshals, though initially wary of him, come to love him because does what he does without pay—other than the reward money.

Cain finds himself in some tough spots, but always manages to stay one step—and one fast bullet—ahead of the outlaws he seeks. Dudley Stewart and his gang just might be the ones to stop that, though . . .

On a lazy crime spree throughout the southwest, Stewart and his renegades have, up to now, been cutting a path of death, destruction, and loss through many a town . . . until Lucas Cain gets wind of their actions and gets it into his head to end the reign of terror with a hail of bullets . . .

Disappointed Big change in plot. I recognize this is a dime store western but to go from the seemingly quick easy captures found in book one to this 6 month stumble and bumble quest was too big a change in character. the multiple page cut and paste from the previous book also surprised me . Not what......more

Dealing with cruel hardened criminals brings a hardness. It's like our hero lost some of his humanity. He has become colder and less caring. I hope he finds himself in the next book. Recommended for adult readers.......more
