The building of the transcontinental railroad is the story of America itself. Full of great dreams-and greater dangers-it required bold vision, back-breaking work, and one brave man to stop the baddest of the bad men every step of the way. His name is Wolf Stockburn, railroad detective . . .
NEXT STOP, HELL. ALL ABOARD!
The killers are organized-and ruthless. One by one, they slaughter a railroad crew at Hell's Jaw Pass in Wyoming Territory. No survivors. No mercy. To ensure the rail line's completion, Wells Fargo sends their best detective, Wolf Stockburn, to the nearby mining town of Wild Horse. It's a rowdy little outpost full of miners, outlaws, and downright killers smack in the middle of two of the largest ranches in the territory. It's also as close to the pit of hell as Stockburn has ever been . . .
Train holdups, ranch wars, slaughter-this little boomtown's got it all. Stockburn's not sure he can trust anyone here, even the deputy's daughter. This pretty gal isn't just flirting with Wolf, she's flirting with disaster. And that disaster comes with a hail of bullets, and-before it's all over-a lot of blood on the tracks . . .
Introducing a rail-blazing new series set in the early days of the transcontinental railroad-when America headed west, outlaws climbed on board, and one man risked his life to stop them in their tracks . . .
WOLF STOCKBURN, RAILROAD DETECTIVE
The newspapers call them the Devil's Horde. A well-oiled team of cutthroat bandits who terrorize the Northern Pacific Railway on route to the coast through Dakota Territory. They dynamite the tracks, blow open the express car door, murder the crewmen, rob the passengers, and empty the safe of gold and cash. If Wells Fargo & Company can't find a way to stop the Devil's Horde, there'll be hell to pay . . .
Enter Wolf Stockburn. A tall rangy Scotsman who dresses like a gentleman but shoots like a cowboy, Stockburn learned his craft from a legendary gunfighter-and honed his skills as a Pony Express rider through hostile Indian country. Now the veteran Wells Fargo's detective will ride the rails from coast to coast. Make sure the train and its passengers reach their destination safely. And take down the Devil's Horde-one by one, bullet by bullet-the devil be damned . . .
