"Nobody wanted the job of escorting local hero Ethan Clay across the desert for his date with death on the governor's gallows. Then along came Charron, an iron man who quickly showed that neither assassins nor ambushers could prevent him reaching Capital City with his prisoner. As the friends of Ethan Clay rose up in violent protest, outlaw territory learned two things: the young killer was a far greater threat than the governor had realized - and big Ben Charron was a true gladiator of the gun." -- Amazon.com
