Wes Stone, son of The Gunfighter, has pursued his father's murderers, the Sandlin Gang, throughout the Sierra Nevadas. But in his quest for revenge, he has now uncovered their nefarious plan to loot four United States mints. The odds are long and the stakes are high as Stone must hunt down and face a mercenary army guarding a mysterious train, which is already 700 miles ahead of him and headed straight for the Denver mint.

Summary

An outlaw cavalry that can’t be stopped—and one man with the courage to take a stand.
 
In Mexico, Wes Stone picked up his father’s gun, rode his father’s horse, and took on his father’s enemies. In California, he planted a band of savage criminals in the ground. Now Stone is heading up to the plains of Colorado, where a new kind of war has begun.
 
A dangerous band of mercenaries is going for the gold—enough to bankrupt the entire country. Their scheme: to raid four U.S. mints. Their weapon: an armored train tearing through the West like a fire-powered battle-ax on wheels.
 
From Durango to Dodge City, across a rugged land stained with blood, gold, and treachery, Stone follows a violent trail of honor. All that stands between victory and death is a quick-draw reflex—and the kind of .44-caliber justice that could tame the West and turn Stone into a legend.
