The second in the action-packed new series from Ralph Compton writer, John Shirley, takes traditional Westerns on a wild ride with the epic adventures of master gunfighter, horseman, and Civil War veteran Cleveland Trewe as he and his strong partner, Bernice, fight for survival in 1880s Nevada ...
Civil War veteran Cleveland Trewe stumbles onto a bizarre cult in the Sierra Nevada mountainsтАФwhere the faithful are healed and fates are sealed ... in blood.
They say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. But itтАЩs hard to know whatтАЩs going on inside the twisted mind of Magnus Lamb, the charismatic leader of an isolated logging town known for its healing hot springs. Some might say heтАЩs created a peaceful utopia here on Gunmetal Mountain. But for Cleveland Trewe and his lovely traveling companion Berry, this little piece of heaven is more like hell on Earth ...
Cleve and Berry first discover the town after an encounter with a dangerous band of Indians. Cleve vows to find тАЬthe Coyote,тАЭ a young brave last seen headed for the strange settlement of Lambsville. At first, Cleve and Berry are charmed by the townтАЩs natural beauty and simple way of life. But soon they see the community for what it really is: a brainwashed cult with some oddball beliefs, a rigid caste system, and a leader who thinks heтАЩs the new Messiah. This not-so-innocent Lamb has heard about CleveтАЩs legendary gunfighting skills and wants him to lead an army to expand his power across the West. ItтАЩs bound to be a blood-soaked mission, and Cleve wants no part of it. But if he refuses, thereтАЩll be hell to pay ...
