Lobo Riler, one of the last of the mountain men, comes down from the Medicine Bow range to the town of Wild Horses on the Overland Trail, hoping to sell furs for supplies from his old friend Seth Topper.What he finds is a recipe for trouble -- a dozen rough and ruthless hide hunters led by a man named Kelleren and a pretty blonde prostitute named Rose working at the brothel called The Regret. Rose is the kind of woman that men want so badly they will fight and even die for her.And men do die, in a battle that spreads from the brothel into the street. Topper is one of those killed while Riler is gravely wounded. Kelleren and his crew ride out of Wild Horses with Rose as their captive. But they make one big mistake. If you shoot a mountain man you better make sure he's dead. Because if he isn't he will come for you -- all of you. Nothing -- not hell or high water or the United States army will keep Lobo Riler from a reckoning.

Wanted for a murder he didn't commit, Gordon Hawkes has spent more than thirty years as a fugitive in his mountain refuge. Hardened by time and grief-stricken over the death of his wife, Hawkes has one joy left in life: his daughter Grace, the recent bride of Captain Brand Gunnison of the Colorado Volunteers. When the army orders Gunnison to establish an outpost in hostile Cheyenne country, it puts Gordon's last surviving family member in grave peril. The legendary mountain man knows that the only way to ensure his daughter's safety is to join the campaign, even while he loathes the army's brutal and sometimes senseless dealings with the "Indian scourge". But the army had badly underestimated their Cheyenne foes, and as a whirlwind of bloody conflict descends upon the plains, Gordon Hawkes is faced with a grim choice: fight for what he knows is right, or for the life of his daughter! THE SIXTH AND FINAL ENTRY IN THE EPIC MOUNTAIN MAN SERIES BY JASON MANNING, WHICH INCLUDES MOUNTAIN PASSAGE, MOUNTAIN MASSACRE, MOUNTAIN COURAGE, MOUNTAIN VENGEANCE AND MOUNTAIN HONOR.

THE TEXAS FRONTIER-A WILD COUNTRY RULED BY THE FAST GUN AND THE QUICK BLADETrue Bowen was out hunting when the Comanche warriors attacked. Quicker than death they killed his folks, burned their West Texas homestead, and kidnapped his sister. With every shovelful of rich red earth he threw on the shallow graves of his folks, Bowen swore he would get her back and make the savages pay for their murderous ways. Armed with an old Hawken single-shot rifle and a belly full of bitter hate, the son of a sodbuster heads west on a vengeance trail. Tracking the war party by the bloody string of massacres they leave behind, Bowen ends up in an old Spanish mission turned trading post that Texans call Helltown. Run by the ruthless Comanchero leader Rodrigo Shay, life was as cheap as rotgut whiskey there, and the closest thing to law was how fast a man could kill another. Backed by a trail-tough gang of frontier mustangers with their own score to settle, Bowen takes on Shay and his Comancheros, hungry for payback, and with just one chance to save his sister-or die in the bloody streets of the Texas Helltown.

SOME SAID HE WAS A BAD MAN, SOME SAID HE WAS A GOOD MAN, BUT ONE THING WAS CERTAIN-HE WAS THE LAST MAN YOU WANTED TO CHALLENGE.The first shots of the Civil War echoed opportunity to young Ben Thompson. The same traits that had earned him notoriety as a civilian-steady nerves and deadly aim-could win him respect as a soldier. For a while he found it, riding with the famous Second Regiment, Texas Mounted Rifles. But it was in the murderous gambling dens south of the Rio Grande that Ben Thompson made his reputation. That reputation would follow him for the rest of his life: as he stared down Wild Bill Hickok in the saloons of Abilene, Kansas; as he battled for control of Colorado's railroads alongside Bat Masterson; and as he cleaned up Austin's streets as a tough-as-nails lawman. He only wanted respect for himself and his family, but it seemed that every cowboy seeking to make a name for himself would go looking for Ben Thompson...and all those names ended up marking fresh graves.
