Billie Long and Alex Hale were men on a mission. Each man had a separate mission to complete, but they each found, that by helping the other, he was helping himself. Billie's mission was to locate the ranchers who had entrusted cattle to him on a drive to Montana. He needed to pay these ranchers their money for the cattle. Alex's mission was to go to California and find his family, and to become the man his father expected him to be. Their mission became a little cloudy when they arrived in the small town of Amigo. The men who were chasing them had followed them to this town and turned it upside down. Then, if that wasn't bad enough, they found themselves in the middle of a range war. A good-for-nothing, hiding under the ruse of being a rancher, was buying up or bullying and killing off the smaller ranchers so he could take control of the land along the proposed railway. Killing the sheriff was the last straw for Billie and Alex. They had been pushed around enough in their lives, both were orphaned, seeing their parents gunned down by ruthless outlaws, and they weren't about to be pushed any further. Now, they would bring their own brand of justice to this lawless territory. They would have to deal with this setback and put an end to this range war before they could fulfill their missions.
Yes, I'm reading them all with pleasure although it dumbfounds me that such a good writer can be such a horrendous speller and use so many spoonerisms.
