Outlaw Torn Slater is no stranger to having a price on his head. Or being the target of a bloodthirsty vendetta. Or finding himself up to his neck in a whole mess of trouble. One thing's for certain, no matter how ornery of a scrape he might get himself into, Slater has a knack for shooting his way out of it . . . <p/>But when he rides into the mining town of Durango, Colorado, Slater is in for one hell of a dust up. In the smoky haze of the town's finest bordello, he quickly gets wind of a plot to take over one of the world's richest gold mines. It's the greedy brainchild of an international cartel made up of some of the world's most powerful men: the brutal dictator of Mexico, the chancellor of Germany, a former Confederate general, a legendary bank robber, and a brilliant philosopher to mention just a few. But once Slater understands what's really up for grabs, he decides to take matters into his own hands, with some help from a few of his most dangerous friends, some of the deadliest gunslingers the Wild West has ever known, including Wyatt Earp, Doc Holiday, Bat Masterson, and Belle Starr. It's a showdown for the ages that acclaimed author Jackson Cain pulls off with masterful plot twists and wild bursts of relentless action.
