Something big was in the wind - and to prove it, a small army of men who were willing to die for their cause chose one of the Lone Star State's best-loved public holidays to make an assassination attempt on Lester Dukes, the Governor of Texas. Although the assassination was thwarted, it was only one part of an altogether bigger plan. Dukes' top Enforcer, Yancey Bannerman, was sent to find out what nightmares still awaited them. Along the way, two innocent women were cold-bloodedly murdered to keep the gang's secret ... one of them a close friend of Yancey's fellow Enforcer, Johnny Cato. By the time Yancey discovered what the gang had planned, all he could do was pray like hell that he reached Austin in time to prevent a catastrophe that would not only kill the most important man in America ... but also take out any number of innocent bystanders right alongside him!
