"Vereda Valley looked like a green Eden - but blazing guns, poisoned water, and dynamite were turning it into an inferno of death. Rangers and nesters teetered on the brink of bloody battle, and Ranger Walt Slad laid his neck on the line to make peace. But a man who's not on one side or the other in a range war is fair game for both - and Slade's welcome to the valley was written in lead and gunsmoke."--Publisher description.
