Part II of the Stamina trilogy.It seemed like a good idea at the time...Now, after three months of hot pursuit by armed to the teeth and vindictive Monger Incorporated security Mechs, tore up Eager Battalion is wallowing in regret and relishes the precarious chance of a longed-for cease fire.But even Eager's prophesying commander has no idea of the comical clash of personalities and drama that awaits them in the backwater frontier town of Wrangleton. Here they're confronted with pugnacious and volatile war-hardened townies; irate and punched-out fame-seeking militias; deluded, brainwashed visitors from the city; privateers with secret agendas; a ridiculous collection of misfits and maniacs; and, once again, killer Mechs at every turn.Agreement is hard to come by amongst the fractious militants and townsfolk, and as the corporate armies close in it becomes increasingly clear that they'll all need to cooperate or perish in a ferocious shit-show.
