Harvard graduate James Averill has returned to Wyoming as a Marshall and is facing growing divisions and escalating tensions in the local community. The powerful, government-backed cattle barons are waging war on the immigrant settlers they brand 'thieves and anarchists' and are drawing up a 'death list' for their hired mercenaries to act upon. As hostilities mount, the inevitability of a full-scale and bloody war edges ever closer. (Second Sight)
