Better off Dead
Այս էլ․ գրքի մասին
From America's bestselling Western authors comes this violent saga of the frontier legend known as the Town Tamer: the man who appears when all justice has fled . . .
Feed the beast—or die
On the West Texas border a behemoth is bellowing smoke, fire, and death. This monster is the infamous Abaddon Cannon Foundry, whose weapons of war have spread death and destruction around the world—and made a few men in Big Buck, Texas, incredibly rich. Now, a Mexican-born teenager has disappeared into this fortress factory, where men work and sweat as slaves. This boy's sister wants to learn her brother's fate, and she just happens to know a man named Shawn O'Brien, the town tamer. Shawn rides to Texas to find the missing boy. What he discovers in Big Buck will spark a ferocious, bloody battle with the greatest evil the West ever known: masters of war who laugh in the face of anyone who defies them—until Shawn O'Brien raises his six gun. Then the laughing stops . . .
