Dodge City was a businessman's dream. And a cattle drive north - with thousands of unbranded long-horns and a remuda of stolen Mexican horses - was a dream of Texans like Dan Ember, who'd come home from the war to find a rich man's hired guns living on his land. Now Dan and his neighbours would risk everything on a drive across the Llano. Along the way, two bands of killers would fight over them, the gunslinger Clay Allison would join up with them, and Quanah Parker's Comanches would try to thwart them - in a bold adventure fuelled by the courage to face death, the price to keep going and the knowledge that now, there was no turning back.
