Duff never expected to hear from his old friend Charles McGregor, his batallion commander from the Black Watch Regiment. Turns out he's the mayor of Antelope Wells, New Mexico, and needs Duff's help. Power-hungry madman Ebenezer Schofield wants to declare the whole area an independent principality--with himself as king. He's already squeezing taxes out of local businesses and citizens. No one has the guts to stop him, however, because he has a private army of fifty uniformed men, six cannons, and a traitor working on his side.
