Lee Weston—a young Paul Newman with a Colt revolver at his hip—is as good-looking as he is quick tempered, and he’s got a lot to be angry about. His father murdered, his family ranch torched, he goes gunning for Harvey Dodge—the man who he’s convinced is the killer. But it’s Lee who ends up shot and on the verge of death. But he’s nursed back to life—by Harvey’s beautiful daughter. Can a great loss lead to a great love? The answer lies in the wild heart of the Wild West.

L. Ron Hubbard was so prolific, and his stories so much in demand, he occasionally had to publish under a pseudonym to ensure that his name wouldn’t appear twice in a single issue of a magazine.
