Son of a Gun

by Philip McCormac

Harry Grant’s son, Hal, has fallen in with the wrong crowd.

But further trouble is on the horizon.

Harrison Percy is about to settle on the range - and on Harry's land.

Violence, rather than diplomacy, will settle any dispute.

Soon Percy calls in the Mortimers, a notorious gang of outlaws renowned for their brutality, to help him with his fight.

But not all of the Grants and Percys are at war with each other.

Hal falls for the beautiful and fiery Morgan Percy.

And now his loyalties are divided.

And the outcome of the war becomes unclear.

There is only one thing for certain. There will be blood...
