Five books. One man. No mercy for the wicked.
Max Reeves doesn't wear a badge. He has never needed one.
Framed for a murder he didn't commit and sentenced to hang, the West's most feared gunfighter smashes his way out of a Yuma courtroom and rides into Mexico to kill a warlord the border knows only as El Diablo. That is where it starts. It does not stop.
Across five relentless adventures, Max and his black Mustang, Blacky, ride from the Sierra Madre to a besieged church on the Rio Grande, from a Mormon cattle town bought and paid for by New Orleans killers to a railroad boomtown drowning in counterfeit money, and on into a hidden Wyoming valley where a United States Marshal means to murder a whole town and blame the Lakota for it.
The enemies get richer. The badges get crookeder. The odds never once get better.
But Max lives by a code older than any law: protect the weak, protect the innocent, and show no mercy to evil. Bandit armies, Gatling guns, cannon and bought politicians — he will face the lot of them with two Peacemakers and a Bowie knife.
Five books. Five wars. One man who is Judge, Jury and Executioner.
El Diablo (Book 5)
Sentenced to hang. Set loose to kill a devil.
Framed for murder and condemned by a crooked court, Max breaks out with a condemned Yuma warrior named Wolf Garra and rides into the Sierra Madre — where a renegade Mexican colonel with stolen Gatling guns is courting Geronimo and a war between two nations.
Unfinished Business (Book 6)
One last mission. One brother he couldn't save.
A padre hangs rotting from the water tower of Boquillas and slaves die in the silver mine below. The Texas Rangers were supposed to be right behind him. They aren't. Max turns freed slaves and terrified villagers into a last stand in a church — and pays for it with the only friend he had.
Tin Star (Book 7)
He spent his whole life refusing the badge. La Sal made him take it.
A New Orleans crime family is buying a Utah county one farm at a time, and their enforcer wears the bullet-holed star of a murdered sheriff as a trophy on his gun belt. Max came for rustlers. He stays for a reckoning — and for a hotel owner with a secret of her own.
Bad Blood Connection (Book 8)
The money was counterfeit. The blood was real.
In the railroad town of Cisco, the biggest counterfeit operation the West has ever seen moves under a United States Army escort — run by a respectable cattlemen's president with Washington in his pocket. Waiting for Max there: a woman who escaped the noose, and a child with clear blue eyes he will never be allowed to call his own.
The Stranger (Book 9)
He wouldn't give them his name. He gave them everything else.
Max rides north into a hidden Wyoming valley to heal, and won't tell a soul who he is — knowing his name is a death sentence for anyone near him. But a US Marshal is coming to burn the town of Kerwin, blame the Lakota, and take the gold in the river. This time the stranger has to fight for a home.
