From Abilene to the Smoky Hill country, they fought and hunted side by side before going their separate ways. Cimarron Jordan would go on to build a town in Texas, carve a trail to Kansas, and battle the Comanche in the Staked Plains. Virge Hollister, meanwhile, made his career with a badge and a gun. Now, on the streets of Dodge City, the two legends of the fierce plains are about to come face-to-face again…as the deadliest of enemies. It’s 1881. El Paso is a booming border town crawling with corrupt politicians and gunslick outlaws—and it’s about to face its greatest challenge yet: the savagery of the notorious Banning Brothers. Dallas Stoudenmire is the marshal El Paso has hired to bring a quick end to the Bannings’ reign of terror. Now the former Texas Ranger must rely on nerves and a quick gun to bring swift justice to a desperate town—and save his own life.
