By the age of 18, Kyle Elliot was fighting the Plains Indians, especially the more fierce warriors who'd ever ridden across the broad plains of Texas, the legendary and ruthless Comanche. He'd ridden with Captain John Coffee Hays in the Texas Rangers and learned to fight in ways most men never understood. "Captain Jack" had taught him and the men who'd ridden with him, skills with weapons, tactics, fighting effectively from a horse at full gallop, tracking and surviving in the desert and mountains. The Captain had been an endless well of knowledge and experience. They'd tracked the Comanche to their homes, raided them, fought them on their own terrain, and won. They'd done the same with the Lipon Apache. These men did what the Army couldn't do. They did what no other fighting force would manage to do for decades.
Now Elliot is headed to a sleepy little town to take up the job as marshal, hoping he can avoid the problems in his last job, which involved having to kill several men and getting into the middle of a range war. He'd accepted the marshal's job with little hesitation after getting assurances that it was quiet and peaceful. But, Kyle Elliot would quickly learn that he'd need all the skills and toughness he'd acquired as a Texas Ranger in order to survive.
He wanted to leave on day one. He stuck around because of a smile from a beautiful woman.

Voyle Glover, a retired attorney who grew up in Arizona, has roamed the state, ridden many old outlaw trails, camped in the desert and mountains there, and often details scenes where he's camped or ridden. Of his westerns, Glover says, "My favorite author was Louis L'Amour, the Dean of Western Fiction. If you liked his stories, you'll like mine. Loved his style. Adopted his style in some respects. He'd always said to 'just tell a good story.' That's what I've done here. It's a good western fiction story."
