This Short story goes back to the beginning of Rapid city when it was first established, and then comes forward to in time to pick up the threads of the story of Robert Evans Gunfighter, Who was bitten in Book one. As he lays recuperating in Old Doc Mulberry's place, the Doctor has some news for him that he does not want to hear. News that will change Robert Evans and the life he has left to live...
I didn't feel this was up to par of the first book (this is a prequel), and I was a little unhappy that the story ended at the 52% mark of the book because the rest is a preview for another book.
