"Brodie Pike knew he shouldnt get involved. It would somehow turn out bad, as seemed to happen too often to him, but he couldnt watch four gunmen bully a small-time rancher. The next day, the man he had helped is found beaten to death. Though he knows he is responsible for Dunns death, he refuses to help the group of small ranchers who know that the Buckskin County Cattlemens Association will be coming for their land soon. Months later, he reads that the association has started its campaign of terror against the small ranchers. Against the odds, he decides to throw in with them, facing the associations horde of hired guns, risking his life in the bloody, violent Buckskin County war, where death is always just one bullet away."--Publisher.
