  You can teach an old dog new tricks . . . with a six-gun! 
  When gold is discovered near the little town of No-Name, Colorado, the citizens are overjoyed at their good fortune . . . until trouble gallops down Maine Street on a horse straight out of Hell. For gold's closest companions are greed and murder, and every two-bit gunslick from the Atlantic to the Rockies is beating a path to the gold strike-which is practically on the doorstep of Smoke Jensen. They're looking to get rich quick . . . and never mind how it's done. 
  But this legendary mountain man never learned how to back away from a good fight-and this one promises to be a whopper. 
  Outnumbered a hundred to one, he recruits an army of his own: twenty aging but still lethal legends of the frontier in the violent sunset of their grizzled lives. 
  One thing you can count on: There's going to be a lot of blood spilled before anyone walks away with the gold.
