GRAVEYARD DEAD: A Rip Campbell Western

He was just passing through. Now, he's their only hope.

Rip Campbell is a cowboy on the drift, a man who owns nothing but his horse, his gun, and the ghosts of his past. He rides the pioneer trail looking for work, not trouble. But when he stumbles upon a wagon train under a savage attack, he's forced to make a choice. One man against a dozen, he drives the bandits off, but he knows they'll be back. This is no random raid.

The terrified settlers are being hunted by the sadistic Silas "Smiley" Creed and his ruthless gang of ex-Confederate marauders. For Creed, this isn't about robbery; it's a cruel game of psychological warfare, and he delights in breaking the spirit before he breaks the body. He sees the pioneers as sheep for the slaughter, and in Rip Campbell, he sees a rival wolf who has betrayed his nature by choosing to help them.

For a man who has spent his life running from connection, the choice is impossible: abandon the pioneers to their fate or become the reluctant hero he never wanted to be. From explosive ambushes and burning bluffs to a desperate, last-ditch siege, Rip must use every ounce of his grit and gunslinging skill to protect the innocent. But as the body count rises and the enemy closes in, he discovers that the price of redemption is paid in blood, and the trail west leads straight to a graveyard.

A gritty, action-packed Western adventure in the classic style of Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour.
