When Maggie Buckner is captured by a gang of outlaws an unlikely old man known as ‘The Dutchman’ is the only one who can set her free. Outnumbered eight to one, the Dutchman sits perched on a bench near Savage Peak, watching the fugitives as they ride out onto the open prairie. He adjusts the sights of his Remington No. 1 Rifle and waits as the first rider comes into range. When he stops shooting, three of her captors lay sprawled on the prairie...dead.
After striking the first deadly blows, the Dutchman trails the group across South Pass through the unpredictable Wyoming springtime weather, like the fourth horseman of the
apocalypse...and surely Hell goes with him.

SOUTH OF TABLE MOUNTAIN
For over fifteen years Alexander Kane has used his guns on behalf of rich land owners and ranchers to insure they maintained control of the land and, more importantly, access to the water they used for their cattle. But Kane no longer wishes to pursue that way of life, deciding to lay down his weapons and settle down to farming.
But Providence intervenes, forcing Kane to fight on the side of a small ranch, the Box Elder, who is being squeezed by their neighbor, who believes he should have had the smaller ranch from the beginning.
Guns blaze across Northern Colorado and gunsmoke fills the air south of Table Mountain.
Forced to live where they did not wish to live, the Cherokee People, along with other native peoples, carved out a life in the Indian Territory, later to become Oklahoma. To maintain law and order in "The Nations" they formed the Cherokee Lighhorsemen, later to become part of the United States Indian Police, or U.S.I.P.
When Chickasaw Blackman and his band of cutthroats run amuck through
The Nations, the U.S.I.P. sends Deputy Hannibal Crow to track them down and
bring them to justice. But along their way to Louisiana, Blackman's group raids
farms and ranches, belonging to white settlers, from Fort Smith, Arkansas to
DeKalb, Texas, killing and burning as they go. Two of those murdered were
persons close to Crow, making his quest a personal one.
Secrets are revealed, Blackman's group is tracked over three states and a young man's life is turned topsy-turvy as he rides with Crow on the chase.
TEMPLE OF JUSTICE
They arranged for his release from the hell they called a prison, only
to place him in a position to get himself killed; well, that's what he got
for being so dang good at what he did.
From the nation's capital to the cow towns of Kansas he and his crew
follow the counterfeit money trail. Shots in the night prove to be deadly
as they chase their theory of "who is behind it all" across the Great Plains.
SABINAS KID

she asks for his help, Caleb McConnell (aka: The Sabinas Kid) leaves
Old Mexico, heading home to Colorado. But along the trail, an attempt
is made on his life and “The Kid” learns something of his parents’
troubles.
His challenge is to discover why someone is after his folks’ ranch, the
Rafter MC, and who is behind it all. When Caleb finally reaches
Del Norte, he encounters one surprise after another. Childhood
friendships are renewed, old grudges are re-energized, and guns blaze
across the Rio Grande Valley as the mystery unfolds.
