The action-packed adventures of Matthew O'Malley continue in this second installment of The O'Malley Saga. Matt and his brothers have moved their cattle west to Storm King Mountain (called Thunder Mountain by the Utes), and there they try to rescue a woman who has been taken hostage by a band of renegades. Matt is also having problems with his girlfriend, Lee, who is jealous of one of Matt's other lady friends. (Whether or not she has cause to be jealous is not exactly clear.) During a deadly attack on Storm King Ranch, Matt comes face-to-face with his blood enemies Macon Beck and Nathan Kurlow. As the bullets fly, Matt and the rest of the O'Malley family fight for their lives.
