Description: The era of the bounty hunter is almost over, the State Governor's lawmen are spreading throught Wyoming and the days of hired gyns are coming to a close. For Brad Thornton this spells the end of an era. The men in badges, though, aren't everywhere yet, and the rancher at Powder River needs action now: there are rustlers driving off his cattle, and Thornton is just the man to make the culprits pay. But these are no ordinary cattle thieves. The Morgan gang are ruthless killers, prepared to turn their hands to murder, extortion, and even the kidnap of a young boy. Thornton is out to find the wild Morgan bunch, just so long as he can keep his Colt in his hand and his wits about him.
