Lt. General Mordecai "Swoop" Swellen was once known for his violent raids and attacks on any and all enemies. Some were criminals, but many were raiding, warring American Indians. When so ordered, he would "swoop" in and decimate any declared enemy. He was also known for his tactical brilliance and sudden viciousness, and his branding iron, red hot anger! But in 1890, Swellen had a change of heart. He was faced with enraging the local Lakota Indians near his fort, which he knew would lead to disaster, or disobeying orders.

Swellen struggles to stay one step ahead of his many bounty pursuers and the United States Army. In Swellen's Reckoning, we learn his origin story, and how as a fugitive he became involved with a new invention, a mountain-climbing, cog and rail train system, and its company from Sicily, working in Pikes Peak, Colorado. He's hired by the Sicilian owner-inventor Arturo Zapello to thwart sabotage, theft, and murder within his own company, and further foil one of his sinister crew chiefs, Carlo Greco, also a renowned swordsman obsessed with challenging the locals to sword duels to their death.

When career criminal and psychopath John Phillip Muzak escaped from prison, he promised to start a blitzkrieg of murderous crime to torture the people of Texas. Muzak and his criminal sons, aka the "Ponderosa Gang," cut a bloody trail across the Texian landscape. There is only one man who can hunt them down, an "old school," shamed and fired Texas detective, Jumpin Jack Kellog. Kellog was once hailed as a hero, fighting the Yankee Mafia and the Cowboy Mafia, (the 'Be Bad Now' prequel). But now, years later, he's been ostracized for brutality and defying orders. He's been fired from West Forge PD. His reputation tarnished and considered a pariah, Kellog is reduced to selling paint in his brother's store, as he recovers from a severe heart attack and nervous breakdown. But Kellog is Muzak's life-long archenemy, the only man ever able to track him down and arrest him. He's sent the public enemy to the pen six times. And now, pariah or not, it's time for Kellog to do it again. So, Jack sets out on a manhunt with the Texas Rangers to strangle the Ponderosa crime wave. Kellog has torn through major Texas cities, and busted across the Mexican border, forced to use every trick he's learned to repeatedly snare Muzak since the 60s. Detections, chases, fistfights, knife fights, gunfights, horror, and death ensue, all erupting again now into an unforgettable, climactic showdown on the streets of Laredo!

Johann Gunther, is a German immigrant, a West Point graduate, ex-U.S. Army officer and former Oklahoma lawman. At the turn of the 20th Century, he runs a problem-solving agency in Ft. Worth, Texas called Remedies, Inc. where if the fee is right, he works as a private detective, a gun fighter, bodyguard and all-around trouble-shooter for hire. He operates in a new world of changing politics, inventive science and exploding technology. In 1906, when U. S. Army Colonel Vito Latissimo and his unit disappear on an discovery expedition in Afghanistan, President Theodore Roosevelt suspects an international, criminal conspiracy. He asks his former Rough Rider Lieutenant, Gunther to act as his free-lance agent and accompany the follow-up British and American mission to locate this officer. Along for the investigation are Latissimo's ill, angry and deserted wife, her beautiful caretaker niece, an aged cavalry company, geographic society's photographers, a reckless English Commander, his British Lancers and a division of Indian Sepoy soldiers. After the assassination of the U.S. contingent's leader, Gunther reluctantly ends up in charge of the American unit. They find Latissimo alive, well and scheming, and Gunther uncovers a plot to assist Russia in the Great Game of disrupting Britain in both India and Afghanistan, plus a traitor's mad scheme to become king of the far Khyber Pass. Gunther outwits foreign spies and revenges a murder on a cruise ship in the Straits of Gibraltar. He battles savage tribes, escapes religious riots in Bombay, crushes Jihadists and American cutthroats in the northwest frontier of Afghanistan, and leads a climatic charge of a stone fort on the top of the world. The classic, serial hero returns in the form of Johann Gunther in this tale of wild, unpredictable, high action and international adventure.
