The exciting action and adventure western series from award-winning author Melody Groves and starring the Colton Brothers continues! Despite battling a frenzied horse, poisoned water, aggravated Apache, a fanatical Army officer, along with other life-threatening trials, the four Colton Brothers-Trace, James, Luke, and Andy-refuse to turn their three thousand longhorns around and head back to Mesilla, New Mexico. Determined to deliver the contracted beeves to Tin Town, California, on time, James Colton drives men and cattle as hard and as fast as he can. The brothers hope to celebrate the end of the Civil War and the cattle drive by hoisting a beer in Tin Town. But Whid MacGilvry has other ideas. Killing James is not enough to exact his revenge for incorrectly perceived injustices. Destroying the entire Colton family will have to do. And where better than out on the range?
