THE CIVIL WAR TAUGHT JOHN T. McLAIN
TO KILL - TO STAY ALIVE!

09: SHOOT-OUT!

FINAL BOOK IN THE SERIES

The gun was the Colt Single Action Army model of 1873.

It was the first handgun to utilize brass-jacketed cartridges. It was the gun that became known as The Peacemaker.

John T. McLain wanted the gun ... This peacemaker was the gun that would tame the West. And McLain knew he had to be the first to own it.

The alternative was death.

08: THE LOST

McLain leveled both Dragoons and shot the Indian out of his saddle. He saw the slugs blow quills from the man's breastplate. Then the arc of scarlet that pulsed from his back. The riderless mustang thundered past him, and he swung to charge down the second warrior. The Dragoons bucked in his hands and the Indian let go the bow as the lead balls ploughed through his windpipe. One shot severed the carotid artery, the opened channel sending a great, thick jet of bright red spraying back on the wind rush. The second broke the neck, shattering the delicate linkages of the spine so that the head lolled abruptly sideways, bouncing against the shoulder as the Comanche went past. The brain's control of the body ended, and the warrior seemed suddenly to deflate. McLain swung the stallion around to face the last Indian.

07: ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR DEATH!

The warriors of the Comanche nation ringed the Texas township of Garrison. Inside it Marshal John T. McLain was sitting on $1,000 in stolen money and a vengeance-bent outlaw called Hondo John Montrose.

Hondo John left the lawman with a bullet in him and ran with the money. But McLain wasn't the kind of man to let a bullet stop him. Or hostile Comanche.

He went after the killer … and nothing was going to stand in his way.

06: WAR-PARTY!

War smoke shaded the sky over Garrison the color of death.

The Comanche were massing for a vengeance war. And a crazy white man was preaching a crusade of slaughter against the tribes that would bring holocaust to the Texas border.

One man stood between hell and destruction.

A man called McLain. Marshal John T. McLain.

A man ready to kill to keep the peace.

05: BLOOD RUN

The stagecoach was a lifeline. It linked Garrison with the other Texas border towns. It brought new blood and new money.

And raiders! Their trade was death, paid in blood and bullets.

John T. McLain was Garrison's duly elected marshal. It was his duty to see the stage got through ... no matter who stood in the way.

04: LYNCH LAW!

A BADGE, A GUN, A NOOSE ...

There wasn't much law in the Rio Verde Valley; not beyond what a man carried holstered on his gunbelt.

And the men who left Mary Koch raped and dead thought they were beyond justice. Only they hadn't counted on John T. McLain.

McLain didn't want the job, but he was the closest Garrison had to a lawman. And when he took the badge he wasn't going to let anything or anyone stand between the killers and the hangman's rope ...

03: WHIPLASH!

IN THE RAW TEXAS TOWN, KILLING WAS THE WAY TO STAY ALIVE

McLain came to Texas to find peace - and stayed to enforce it with his Colt's Dragoon pistols and his Sharp's carbine.

Zac Moffat came with a stockwhip and a gang of renegades, to take what he could by terror when it worked - by cold-blooded murder if his victims fought back...

McLain saw his dreams dissolving in a bloody range war. The only way to stop it was more killing - and the only was man enough to do it was John T. McLain.

02: OUTLAWS!

McLain went to Texas looking for a new life. The outlaws drifting down only saw the pickings. And only one way to take them - with a gun.

It didn't matter who stood in their way; they'd learnt their deadly trade in the bloody fighting of the Civil War.

But so had McLain, and now he was on the other side. Ready to follow the killers into Mexico or Hell, whichever came first. Ready to use the Colt's Dragoons he'd carried through the War, or the Sharps buffalo gun that could kill up to a mile ...

Mostly, just ready to kill again.
