Bradford Scott

The prairie surrounding Redmon, Texas is a cattlemen's empire, where the barons of the open range live in almost feudal splendour. But the railroad is fighting its way into the territory, attended by tumult, violence and death. There are plenty of people whose fervent wish is to halt its disruptive progress - including a vicious masked outlaw who strikes mercilessly in the dark, wrecking trains, robbing and killing. Walt Slade, stalwart undercover agent of the Texas Rangers and fastest gunslinger in the Southwest, is given the job of hunting him down, but his reputation precedes him: barely has he set foot in the town when three gunmen try to put him in an early grave. Can Slade elude bullets and dynamite long enough to force a showdown with the head of the gang, and restore peace to the land?
