'Dark clouds gather over the township of Storm, Montana. Fast guns have congregated to test their skills against the gunfighter called Red Rivers. The prize is ten thousand dollars, and Big Kev Riordan needs someone to collect it, because Rivers killed his son and now is the time for revenge.

'Into the maelstrom ride two men. One on a blue roan with murder in its eye, the other, on a chocolate-coloured appaloosa. They are said to be wilder than a Texas twister, and tougher than the granite-faced mountains which surround the town. Their names are Josh Ford and Laramie Davis; the marshal and the Legend.

'But when the clouds break over the town, the only thing they rain is lead.'

'The little town was Serenity: in name and nature. Then the railroad and miners came, dragging violence and death behind them. Renamed Hell, the sleepy town changed under the rule of Ike Cordis.

'Known as The Devil, Cordis controlled The Three Horsemen, the fastest guns in town.

'Long forgotten was the fourth horseman - a man riding a blue roan. A man determined to make The Devil burn in Hell!'

'Josh Ford was the best man the Marshal Service had, so when the Governor of Montana needed someone to look into the disappearance of wagon trains in the Bitterroots, Ford was the man they chose. What he found was a brutal autocrat who ruled with such terror, the like of which had never been seen by Ford.

'From Helena, Montana, to the Bitterroot Mountains, then on to Seattle, Ford fights for his life and the lives of others against a maniac and his small army. When a final twist puts it all in jeopardy, Ford realizes that the badge he wears may be the difference between law and justice.'

'Who?' 

'Ford.' 
'Josh Ford, United States Deputy Marshal!

'When it comes to fighting outlaws, he's hell on wheels and this time he'll need to be. Two of their own have disappeared in the Moose River Mountains and the trail leads to Stay. A small town under the heel of a brutal vigilance committee led by a killer known only as 'The Judge'.

'From the moment Ford arrives, there is literally the stench of death in the air. And after being forced into a gunfight he doesn't want and then sentenced to hang, the stench only gets stronger.

'They were warned. They've never seen the likes of Ford!'
