A showdown is inevitable...

US Marshal Badge Bannerman and his deputy partner, Johnny Swagger, are on the way to Cottonwood Bend for the latest mission. Cottonwood Bend and its surrounding land are owned by the greedy cattleman, Ty Stillman. With the passing of the Homestead Act, his cattle range isn't legally his. But with Stillman threatening to shoot any farmer that dare settle on 'his' land, Bannerman and Swagger are there to prevent a bloody showdown. As the pair quickly discover, Cottonwood is as corrupt as it gets.

As a hardened and experienced Marshal, Bannerman knows his work is cut out for him. To make matters worse, his reputation has preceded him, and Stillman isn't taking any chances. But in a town that's basically owned by Stillman, very few in Cottonwood are happy to help. Bannerman knows that controlling men like Stillman are bound to slip up when shoved in a corner.

And when that happens, Bannerman will be there to Shoot On Sight...

With plenty of gun-fighting action, Shoot On Sight is a heart-pounding Western.
