Battle of the Mountain Man — William W. Johnstone

.44 CALIBER JUSTICE
Smoke Jensen already has a good woman by his side -- now all he needs to make Sugarloaf the best damned cattle ranch in Colorado is John Chisum's prime steer. But getting Chisum's herd out of New Mexico territory takes a tough hide. A cattle war has turned the landscape hostile and a brutal high lonesome blizzard is threatening a frozen night's death. But the greatest danger is yet to come. Rustler Jesse Evans and his Mescalero half-breed gang are hot on Smoke's trail -- and their killing spree is just beginning.

But if the renegades want to play with trail-hardened punchers, they're trading hot lead with the wrong men. Because kill-or-be-killed pioneers like Smoke and Chisum are trigger-ready to wage their own war to guide the herd to safety. Smoke has a dream for his glory days to live up to -- turning his lush Colorado meadows into a peaceful heaven with Sally. And the bullet-proof mountain man's going to do it. Even if it means blasting each and every one of the dirty desperados back to hell....
