Max Griffin rode into the New Mexico desert looking for a killer. He wasn't a handsome man but he was wise. Someone had been killing cattle, taking a few worthless organs, and leaving their carcasses to rot. His boss wanted it to end and posted a large reward. It seemed simple enough. Find the killers and make them stop. Riding a nasty little horse, armed with only a Henry rifle, a .44 Colt, and haunted by the memory of a beautiful woman, Max heads out into the desert. What he finds is not of this world. And what he does about it will affect the course of humanity forever.
