The Greatest Western Writers of the 21st Century return to Fort Misery--where the lowliest dregs of the U.S. calvary defend the driest patch of lawless desert against the gnarliest killers in the wild, wild West. Sometimes it takes a bad man with gun to stop another bad man with a gun . . . They're not what you'd call "the good guys." They're a mangy pack of dispicable deserters, thieves, mutineers, and worse. But as condemned soldiers in an overstretched army, they were given a choice: death by hanging or serving out their time in a hell on earth. These men chose hell. Located at the farthest edge of the Yuma Desert, Fort Grierson is a magnet for trouble. Vicious attacks by marauding Apaches, gunslinging outlaws, and bloodthirsty banditos are practically a daily occurrence--and the men holding down the fort are hardly any better. Hence the nickname Fort Misery. But when a rebel faction decides to break ranks and go AWOL, the fort's exasperated commander--Captain Peter Joseph Kellerman--has to think fast and fight dirty to fend off a cutthroat band of Mexican renegades. Their goal: to steal the largest stash of gold in the territory--and slaughter every last man in the fort . . . FORT MISERY LOVES COMPANY. THE MORE, THE DEADLIER.
