Step into the 1860's Wild West with
Guns of Goblin Valley
, the second installment of the new
Kid Crimson
western series.
After the Union Army's failed attempt to prosecute Confederate sympathizers in town, Kid Crimson is recruited by President Lincoln's intermediaries to scout a Mormon foundry suspected of manufacturing war materiél in Utah.
Kid makes the journey alongside Nellie Brown, a deadly knife-thrower he met at a traveling circus, saving a Latter-day Saints bruiser named Rocker Portwell from an Indian attack. The devout enforcer reveals the Mormons are building cannons for Lincoln, and together, they devise a plan to transport the weapons to Kansas.
But when the foundry is ravaged in a surprise assault by the cunning Rebel commander Prince Polignac, Kid must face a grim truth: Polignac aims to steal gold from Utah's secret Union bank and bring mercenaries and cannons to Virginia City, destroying the mines and slaughtering residents.
Kid Crimson won't back down. With Nellie's blades, a circus lion guarded by a 10-year-old Paiute animal whisperer, and an African elephant armored in Rocker's steel, he's ready to face Prince Polignac head-on.
Can his ace crew outmaneuver Polignac's forces and save Virginia City before it's too late?
