There were now but eight of them left. Gaunt, trail-sore, half-famished, they rode on in silence. At their head was Reese Carstairs - a dour, determined man dedicated to the task of leading his men back to the lush valley of Medicine Bow; to the ranch that was his by right and to the woman who awaited him there. But the homecoming was anything but what Carstairs had planned. Instead it started a chain reaction that was to lead to greater violence and slaughter than Carstairs had known even in the heyday of his famous Raiders. He had thought to return in peace only to be greeted by war. Well, Carstairs and his men were no newcomers to war. They had played it too often, too long. And they always played to win. They played to win now, and if in doing so someone got hurt, it was the price every man must recon to pay for tangling with men of Carstairs' calibre.
