His adopted name is Cato Landry. But everyone calls him The Black Plague. From the tamed East to the prehistoric frontier of the New West, his guns have protected railroad tycoon Reydan White for decades. But with his employer now dead at the hands of his brother, he's set loose in a world that needs men of his particular skill set. Because as civilization clashes against civilization in bloody battle, winners rise and fall. And in this strange world, sometimes men are the greatest danger of all. One civilization will conquer. One will fall. And it looks to be The Black Plague's guns that will decide the outcome.
