A brand new, wild and thrilling Western in Ralph Compton's Sundown
Riders series!
His wife is gone to tuberculosis, his reputation was lost in the war,
most of his life has already passed by, and now even his horse has been
taken by colic. All Carpenter has left are the men from his Army
company. During the journey to California to reunite with them, he
strikes up a friendship with Rafael Silva, an educated man making for
the same town to start up a rifle factory.
When they arrive, Carpenter's former brothers-in-arms actually try to
run Silva out of town, despite the much needed factory. There's trouble
afoot, and Carpenter has to choose between his new friend and the ones
who stood with him through the war. His old comrades just aren't who
they used to be but, then, neither is he.
