Texas, June 1875...the life-and-death struggle on the frontier continues with raids by Indians, rustlers, and bandits alike...supplied by gunrunners whose greed knows no bounds, who ply their trade wherever their vile efforts take them. Lieutenant Jared Andrews is meeting Lilly in San Antonio to marry near Cibolo Creek. Instead, he¿s sent to patrol the Frio River area Indians attacked. He returns to find he¿s lost a bride, has been transferred to Santa Fe where his troops are mauled by repeating rifles, issued ¿orders from the top¿, chases gunrunners to a bloody showdown at the Pecos River.
