Synopsis
&“Readers who enjoy tall tales built around real history—and aren&’t turned off by the sight of a bit of blood—will enjoy this read.&” —Booklist LAST STOP ON THE TRAIN RIDE TO HELL Welcome to Ironhead Station, Indian Territory, where the train tracks end and the real action begins. The hell-on-wheels construction camp is the final destination for hard-drinking sinners, gamblers, and outlaws. And woe to the man who tries to clean it up. Morgan Clyde is a former New York City policeman and Union sharpshooter who lost everything in the Civil War. But he&’s still got his guns and his guts. Some folks say he&’s meaner and tougher than the Devil himself. Which is why the owners of the MK&T Railroad hired Clyde for one hell of a job. They plan to extend the rails through Indian Territory, connecting Missouri and Kansas to Texas. . But the ornery citizens of Ironhead Stationwant to keep things just the way they are. They&’ve already killed the first two lawmen who tried to tame their town. Now they&’ve put together a welcome wagon to greet Clyde, including one half-mad preacher, one hillbilly assassin, and twenty trainrobbing bushwackers. They&’re laying plans to stop the railroad dead in its tracks—along with their new lawman . . . There&’s just two things the folks of Ironhead Station didn&’t take into account: You can&’t stop the wheels of progress. And you can&’t stop a legend like Morgan Clyde . . . &“Page-turning excitement and fast-paced action . . . a must-read for western novel enthusiasts. The author creates a rich and powerful picture.&” —Historical Novel Society
