About this item
The High Plains of Wyoming's open range are a chance for men to make a killing--or just to kill. Rourke, a bounty hunter with a trail of graves and gunfights behind him, is drawn into a high-stakes game where the greedy and powerful want to exploit the West for their own gain, regardless of the rules. In a time and place where death and violence are as much a part of life as untamed herds of buffalo and the wild freedom of the raging winds, Rourke has to choose between drifting through life and taking a stand, knowing it could be his last. Battling unseen enemies as well as audacious rustlers, Rourke rides with a blacksmith whose best years are long past him, and Caledonia MacReynolds --a girl as free and wild as the Wyoming sunsets--to stand up against the odds.
About the Author
Rusty Davis is a lifelong member of the worldwide Cowboy Nation, from the days when westerns were shown on black-and-white TVs smaller than most computer screens. Rusty is a free-lance writer who believes that the American West is the backdrop where the age-old fights of individuals to stand tall and proud in defiance of the powerful bring the spheres of history and fiction together. In his works, men and women fight for their freedom against those who would use the rugged lands of the West as a place for enriching themselves at the expense of others. To Rusty, Western fiction distills the essential elements of America -- men and women against the land, the rugged against the mighty, and the endless struggle of flawed men and women for a chance at redemption. The West has always been drama on a grand scale, lived out by men and women who had the strength to make the West great, the courage to risk everything when it was time to stand tall, and the tenacity to keep going, even when the price of being a man was going out with a gun to stand in a wind-blown street.
