The race is on to span the continent with steel rails—and
someone is willing to do anything to stop it, even if it means spilling rivers
of innocent blood!
Matthew Faraday is president of the Faraday Security
Service, a detective agency specializing in work for the ever-expanding
railroad empires. Hired to find out who is stirring up the Sioux and sabotaging
the Kansas Pacific line as it builds westward, Faraday sends tough young agent
Daniel Britten to the railhead, where he finds himself embroiled with surveyors,
track layers, buffalo hunters, and a pair of beautiful young women. But there’s
a killer stalking the railhead as well, and not only the fate of the railroad
but also Britten’s very life depends on him uncovering the truth.
The original version of this epic Western adventure by
legendary author James Reasoner has been out of print for decades. Newly
revised and expanded, it’s now available again with all the historical sweep
and gun-blazing action readers have come to expect from James Reasoner.
(This is the first book in the Faraday series, originally published by Lynx Books in the late Eighties under the name William Grant. Other authors who contributed to the series were Paul Block, Robert Vaughan, and Bill Crider. Robert Vaughan's entries in the series are also being reprinted, and they're excellent books. I recommend them.)
