A GUN FOR HIRE
His code was simple: stay alive to deliver the goods
and don't step aside for any man
His name was ...

HAWK

08: DESPERADOES

Jared Hawk wasnt looking for a fight.

Not until the marshal at Eagle Pass decided his woman was looking too long at the gunfighter, and threw Hawk in jail.

It was pure chance that the Kincaid gang chose then to raid the town. And the marshal made up his mind Hawk was one of them … and decided to hang him.

Hawk got offered a simple choice: wait around for the rope or go after the outlaws.

Kincaid's men were mean. Natural killers. But so was Hawk.

He rode out to clear his name the only way he knew how … with a gun …

07: GATES OF DEATH

The gates of death open!

The bull was big and black and deadly ... 1700 pounds of pure killing machine. One man had already spilled his guts out over those horns ... and his friends wanted revenge.

That didn't matter to Hawk. One thousand dollars did. And that was what the Mexican offered if Hawk could deliver the bull down the long trail to Mexico City. What he didn't know was that someone had posted a contract on the animal, so he faced enemies at both ends of the trail.

But Hawk had a direct answer to anyone who tried to stop him ... it came flaming from the barrel of his gun.

06: BLOOD KIN

The settlers at Rising Star wanted Jared Hawk to clean up their town - he took their money and pinned on the marshal's badge and promised to do it.

He didn't go back on his word when he faced James Hunter's hired guns.

Or when he learned the truth about the woman who hired him.

Or when he found out just who they wanted him to kill ...

05: FOOL'S GOLD

Jared Hawk wasn't looking for a fight. But he wasn't walking away when the Mexican called him out ... he killed the pistolero.

Hawk wasn't to know that the man's brother headed an outlaw gang working the Border county - until Luis Brava to his revenge.

But things turned bad and he took a job riding herd on a prisoner due to be hanged. It should of been simple ...

He left Hawk to die. That was a mistake, because hawk wan't the kind of man to die easy. He went looking for his own personal vengeance. And when he got hired to track the Brava Gang, he had two reasons for doing the job the only way he knew ... violently!

04: KILLING TIME

Jared Hawk stank of death.

It hung about him like gunsmoke and the sour smell of drying blood. He thought he'd take life easy for a while: enjoy some whiskey, a woman and nothing more. Leave his Colt .45 in its greased holster.

But things turned bad and he took a job riding herd on a prisoner due to be hanged. It should of been simple ...

But life never worked out that way for Hawk. Before he could earn his $400 and the hangman could settle his roped around the killer's neck, Hawk's gun was back in action and the stench of death hung once more in the air.

03: DEATH'S BOUNTY

Jared Hawk rode into Santa Maria on the trail of a Mexican outlaw with a $1000 bounty on his head.

He wasn't prepared to the fact that he was riding into a revenge war between the Mexicans and the Apache Nation - until the people of Santa Maria offered him one thousand dollars American to get them out to safety. Down a trail that was lined with blood-hungry Indians.

Hawk took the money and gave his word - and he wasn't the kind of man who went back on a promise.

Even when it meant losing a woman to the hard code that demanded blood for blood ... and a life for a life.

02: BLOOD MONEY

When Jared Hawk helped the black gunman, Aaron Turner, bring in a wanted man it was one more job - a few extra dollars in his pocket.

He didn't know he was riding into the hellfire center of a range war. Nor that he'd find himself on the other side, facing Turner over the blazing muzzle of a Colt. 45.

But Hawk had a simple coded: kill first and ask questions later.

If there was anyone alive to answer ...

01: THE SUDDEN GUNS

Jared Hawk was a gunfighter. His talent for killing was up for hire - if the price was right.

Philip Garrett hired Hawk to take him and his niece, Sarah Lee, through to Los Angeles, but a pack of professional guns blocked the road.

Before Hawk reached the City of the Angels all his gun skills were brought to bloody use, and the old California trail was marked with gravestones...
